JK - 4 Emergency Distance Learning

2020 - 2021

In this emergency learning model, students will independently work on assignments and maintain contact with their teachers using web-based sessions, email, and phone calls. Parents and guardians are requested to serve as learning guides for their children.

If a student, classroom, school, or the district must shift to emergency distance learning, your child’s teachers will remain the same. Students will access their learning plans through this web page and/or electronically through Seesaw. Related handouts and worksheets will be electronically distributed by the classroom teacher or you can pick them up at your respective school. In the event you need hard-copy materials, contact your school to schedule a pick-up.

Each Distance Learning Plan (DLP) contains a teacher created instructional video in the upper left corner designed to give students and parents a quick overview of the content and assignments for the week. You can expect your child’s teacher will also share pre-recorded daily instructional videos and offer instructional support via Zoom, email, or phone. The teacher contract day is weekdays from 7:45 am - 3:45 pm. When school is in session on campus, teachers will be available for quarantined students between 3:15 - 3:45 pm. If you need assistance, please email your child’s teacher(s) or principal.

Completed assignments can be submitted electronically to teachers through Seesaw (JK-4) or dropped off at your respective schools between 7:45 AM - 3:45 PM. Assignments submitted electronically will result in more timely feedback from teachers. Refer to the distance learning plans for teacher contact information and to determine which assignments to submit.
