Hello Fifth Grade Families!
We hope that you and your loved ones are doing well and are healthy during these crazy times. As many of you have read the message from Superintendent Williams, the structure of remote learning will be changing to benefit families and students.
The new structure will consist of STEM content on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Humanities content on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The work for the day will be posted at 6:00 AM that morning, and will be due by midnight that evening. The goal is to make the Google Classroom more manageable and easier to find material needed for the day.
There will be two optional Zoom meetings held each week for students to participate in and ask questions if they would like. Students do not need their own Zoom accounts to participate in these meetings!! A STEM Zoom will be Monday mornings 8:45-10:00, and Humanities Zoom will be Wednesday mornings 8:45-10:00. Once again, participation in the Zoom meetings are completely optional. Students do not need to be logged into the Zoom for the entire time. Just as needed, and also for short drop-ins if they have any questions. They can stay in the meeting the entire time if desired as well.
The students will see their work on the Classwork portion of Google Classroom. Each day they will be asked to check in for their daily attendance and let us know how they are doing. The district is working on sending something to parents and guardians to help the school keep track of attendance as well.
Google Classroom has an option for parents and guardians to have access to get information on their student’s work for the week. The information you would receive includes what work is missing from the week, what they have turned in, and what they have due. If you would like access to this information, please respond to this email and we will add you to both Humanities and STEM classes.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. We are here to help!
Kindly,
Ms. Kelleher and Ms. Moran
