Questions I have received from parents and students with answers:

 

I would highly suggest that your child is present for their Advocacy Zoom meeting. This is held with their Advocacy teacher. However, we also are aware that some students won't be able to make the meeting.

 

"Office hours" is the time in which the teacher is available by Zoom to answer any questions from either parents or students. Students do not need to be present during this time but are welcome to attend to check in or ask their questions. Parents, feel free to attend to ask questions of the teacher. Being that the purpose of this time is to answer questions, attendees without questions will be muted in order to keep the time available and appropriate to the purpose. 

 

The teachers in the 3/4 Pod are planning together so that students will still get the standards that would have been taught in the school room this quarter. However, in order to simplify the distance learning, which is new to all of us, students have been grouped in their Advocacy classes and will receive most/all of their assignments and information from their Advocacy teacher. The parents primary contact for all classes should be their child's Advocacy teacher.

Below is an outline of what is the minimum expectations for this time during distance learning.
