Flipping To Fully Remote

As we flip to fully remote starting tomorrow there are a few pieces of information that we would like to share. 

Schedule
Students should follow the "bell schedule" for the days that they would typically be in school.  Each 5th grade classroom has a schedule set by the classroom teacher. 6th graders will follow their schedule based on the period times. The zoom portion of their classes will be no longer than 30 minutes in length which will allow students to have a break in between classes and get up and move. Here are what the days look like for our different groups:

Wednesday, 12/16:     
Typical Wednesday for all 5th & 6th Grade students

Thursday, 12/17:        
THU-FRI students will follow their schedule remotely 
MON-TUE students will complete remote assignments

Friday, 12/18:            
THU-FRI students will follow their schedule remotely 
MON-TUE students will complete remote assignments

Monday, 12/21:        
MON-TUE students will follow their schedule remotely
THU-FRI students will complete remote assignments

Tuesday, 12/22:        
THU-FRI students will follow their schedule remotely 
MON-TUE students will complete remote assignments

Wednesday, 12/23:    
Typical Wednesday for all 5th & 6th Grade students

Attendance
Attendance will be taken in Homeroom for students on the days that they are following their schedule. For Wednesdays and remote days students will continue to use Operoo for attendance. 

Zoom Etiquette
Be on time and prepared for class
Charge your Chromebook each night
Dress for Success - wear school appropriate attire
Minimize distractions - put your cell phone away during class
