Thanks for being supportive and flexible during this most uncertain time. We also appreciate your patience and understanding as we work together to overcome this disease. Details concerning plans for this week are below. At any time, if you have questions or concerns, please contact your child's school or central office.
Instructional Resources- Digital Learning Extending Beyond the Classroom
Due to the potential number of days students could be out of school, our schools will provide the opportunity for students to continue to engage in learning. Students will participate in Alternative Learning Days through reading traditional books, traditional "at home" paper-based assignments, and through use of personal devices, GoogleClassroom, email, and other electronic and digital media to ensure uninterrupted instruction.
What will an Alternative Learning Day look like for students?
All staff and students in our district access and can utilize GoogleClassroom and GAFE (Google Apps for Education), in addition to other digital media, online texts, forums and resources, on a regular basis to communicate, collaborate, research and complete assignments and lessons. On Alternative Learning Days, students may access assignments from their teachers through their GoogleClassrooms (or other digital sources) just as they would normally do while present at school.
- Alternative Learning Day assignments for students in grades PK-5 are posted on each school's website here.
- Alternative Learning Day assignments for students in grades 6-12 can be accessed in the students' GoogleClassroom by logging into their @mcschools account.
- Parents should contact their child's school or email their child's teacher if they need assistance logging into their child's account.
- Students who do not have internet access at home will have the opportunity to complete paper copies of assignments. Parents should contact their child's school and make arrangements to pick up their child's work at the front office at each school.
Classroom teachers will be overseeing their students' digital learning platform throughout the time students are out of school. Teachers will be available to communicate with students and parents through email, GoogleClassroom, Remind, and other forms of digital media.
