What does the Remote Learning model look like? What improvements have been made since the spring?

"Our shift to remote learning last spring has provided us with much insight and we will have a robust remote learning experience for all our students this fall. As described in the Restart Plan, we have now had time, through the summer months, to prepare technology, customize curriculum, unify resources, and create professional development for staff to deliver academic content in ways that meet the needs of all our students.

Starting this fall, the following expectations will be put into place across our schools whether we are serving students in-person or remotely.

• Common Learning Management Systems (LMS) will be used across our school district.
+ Seesaw (PK-2)
+ Google Classroom (3-12)
+ Schoology (6-12)

• Students will experience synchronous learning each day at an established time on a schedule to accommodate the courses they will need to complete.

• Each week, students will interact with their teachers in a face-to-face (Zoom or Google) environment.

• District assessments will be delivered remotely. Teachers will have student data to plan for remediation and extension.

• School-based staff will serve as community outreach liaisons to engage parents.

• Each school will have an outreach plan for parents and community members.

• Teachers will develop and enhance tools for remote learning and in-person learning during the additional days for training (8/14-8/21) before the start of school."

Does my 5th / 9th grader get their own device and how do I make arrangements for that?

Families of incoming 5th and 9th graders, look for communications regarding your devices. All 5th and 9th grade students will receive a new device at the beginning of the school year as part of the TechForEd program. Their old devices will be collected, cleaned, and likely reused in lower grade levels unless the purchase agreements for those devices stated the family owned them at the end of their educational use.
