Leaping into @Home Learning

Our teachers, administrators, and staff have been working diligently to launch our @home learning, which will begin on Monday, March 23rd. Yesterday, we launched our Leaping into @Home Learning site. Please take a few minutes to review the site as it will share with you the expectations for teachers, students, and parents as we ease into learning @home. Know that we are being very purposeful and mindful in the role out of @home learning to ensure our teachers and our students have what they need to be successful and to allow our families to balance and take care of their needs as well. Each week by 9 am on Monday; students will get weekly learning activities loaded in their SeeSaw (PK-3) and their Google Classroom (4-12) accounts. If parents have the digest options enabled, they will receive a parent digest of SeeSaw and Classroom activities at the interval they selected (daily or weekly). All core course learning activities will also be uploaded on the Leaping into @Home Learning site by Monday at 9 am. We will continue to update this page with resources to support our Lovejoy community.
