Time of Morning Teacher Connects: 9:00 a.m.
Core Platform For Communication with Students and Families: Seesaw (and email for parents/guardians)
While not online continuously, teachers will monitor email and other communication with students and parents regularly throughout the school day.
Reasonable expectations will be that children read and write daily at a level that is appropriate for their age and development. Teachers will provide suggested activity time frames in their daily communications with students and families.
Special Area teachers will be communicating with grade-level classes weekly. A chart outlining this plan is below. This schedule will be followed in all phases.

At this time we only ask that, to the greatest degree you are able, you support your child(ren) by creating a learning schedule that works for your family, a space for children to work, and that you check on your child(ren)’s progress.
