Dear District Families,
Today marks the first day of our eLearning program. Staff have worked very hard over the past several days putting together a learning system that supports our philosophy, is connected to our curriculum, builds independence, and promotes quality time with those that surround our children. We know that each family has a different set of circumstances under these conditions. We also know that different students engage with learning in different ways and each student works at their own pace. The Learning Menus provided by teachers aim to meet the needs of a wide range of learners and many activities can be scaffolded according to students' readiness and interest. Please note that first-fourth grade requires a daily google form check-in. The link for this form will be shared by the classroom teachers. There is a unique form for each grade 1st-4th. If your child is absent from an eLearning day please complete our absence Google Form. Click here.
Please know that this week is meant to be a general introduction to eLearning. Many of our families and staff may be balancing schoolwork for several children, figuring out how to do their own work from home or heading out of town. We are using this week to introduce processes and programs and hope you are able to use the week to find your own balance. Please be patient with us as we figure out which systems and routines work best and begin to refine our processes to best support you and your child. Teachers will be available between 9 am and 3 pm to provide feedback if work is shared and answer questions as needed.
These are unique times for all of us. However, we are confident we can build a learning system that works well for all if we continue to be patient, flexible and supportive of each other.
Sincerely,
Beth Carmody, Hubbard Woods
Julie Pfeffer, Crow Island
