Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you are safe and well in this unprecedented time.
We are moving along and some of your children have figured out what they need to do to be successful. Others are not consistently doing what is expected of them so they are having problems keeping up with the demand and finding their rhythm.
I will give you some very basic notes to understand the routine...
Students in the Red Cohort...
- On Monday and Tuesday students will be in school in class to receive instruction and homework assignments.
- On Wednesday all students will be invited and expected to attend a live streamed class.
- On Thursday and Friday students will find independent learning opportunities posted under their Team assignments tab. There will not be a live streamed class on these two days.
Students that are fully remote... (Since all of fully remote students are following the Red Cohort schedule, you will see that these are much the same.)
- On Monday and Tuesday remote students will be in school in class virtually to receive instruction and homework assignments (Class will be live streamed on these days.)
- On Wednesday all students including remote students will be invited and expected to attend a live streamed class.
- On Thursday and Friday remote students will find independent learning opportunities posted under their Team assignments tab. There will not be a live streamed class on these two days.
Students in the Gold Cohort...
- On Monday and Tuesday students will find independent learning opportunities posted under their Team assignments tab. There will not be a live streamed class on these two days.
- On Wednesday all students will be invited and expected to attend a live streamed class.
- On Thursday and Friday students will be in school in class to receive instruction and homework assignments.
Students are expected to be doing their math every day at the scheduled classtime, even on those independent remote learning days. If they do not open and work on these assignments during their classtime, they will be considered absent on these virtual days. I can tell when students are working in TEAMS on my assignment. The most immediate confirmation for me is at the beginning of class, the statis of their assignment is changed from unopened to viewed the moment they open it.
The following are the classtimes for each period.
- Period 1 8:20 to 9:05
- Period 2 9:10 to 9:55
- Period 3 10:00 to 10:45 (Advanced Algebra 1)
- Period 5 11:40 to 12:25
- Period 6 12:30 to 1:15
Currently, I am trying to push two or three new lessons out each week for my Math-8 classes and three to four new lessons out in my advanced Algebra 1 class. Each lesson in both classes has a companion video of the lesson recorded and posted under Files in a folder called Class Materials for students that miss class or need to hear the lesson again.
I hope that these insights will help you to help your child to find their routine and become successful during this difficult time. I plan on working as hard as I am able to create learning opportunities for your child. I am committed to not letting your child fall behind and find success this year.
Have a good week,
Ms. Dunbar
