Day 1 of York Catholic Distance Learning was a success! Students are reporting that they're excited, teachers are reporting they're enjoying getting to know students in their comfort zone of a virtual world, and parents are expressing their appreciation of maintaining a quality learning environment for their children.
We have a few notes as we move forward.
Teacher Online Office Hours Clarification
Tomorrow we begin teacher online office hours. Please refer to the schedule published yesterday. As a point of clarification, the teacher online office hours are for the students to have an opportunity to check-in, ask questions, and say hello. Students are not required to participate in online office hours, but are encouraged to do so to maintain virtual touch-points with their teachers.
Communications
As stated previously, we will be sending regular Distance Learning & Coronavirus Response Updates via email to both students and parents. Please be sure to check your email accounts daily. We will also continue to send our "Irish Eye" e-newsletter with other important information not related to the coronavirus response. Please be sure to check your email accounts Thursdays for this correspondence. Classroom questions may be directed to individual teachers. All other inquiries can be directed to info@yorkcatholic.org.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we got through our first day of Distance Learning together. Providing quality education is what makes us unique and we thank you for your support.
