SECOND SEMESTER EXPECTATIONS FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS

The second semester begins on Monday, Feb. 8 and runs through Tuesday, June 8. To ensure that your child has a strong and successful semester, please take some time to review our student expectations for distance learning, in-person learning, and mask requirements.

When in distance learning:

Check your class Canvas homepage for information about schedules, office hours, recorded lessons and Zoom times.
Follow your schedule. Students must join live Zooms as much as possible. Participating in live class is critical. Alert your child’s teacher if you have extenuating circumstances that prevent your child from attending live Zoom classes.
Learning is social. Learning happens best during personal/face to face interactions. It helps you to learn when your camera is on. Turn on cameras as much as you can.
Submit work on time each week. All assignments are due by Sunday evening. Work daily to stay on track. There will NOT be an extension for completing work at the end of Semester 2.
Contact teachers when you have questions. Ask questions. Chat questions. Email questions.

When learning in person:

Wear a mask.
Wash or sanitize your hands frequently.
Be mindful of distance from others. We know we want to hug our friends and teachers, give high fives and fist bumps, but we need to stay in our space to keep each other safe.
If you are in grades 1 through 6, bring your Chromebook and charger to school each day.
Lockers will not be used, so we recommend bringing a backpack to carry your personal belongings and technology.
Bring a water bottle in order to use the water fillers.
Continue to use Canvas to access daily assignments.
Submit work by due dates. There will NOT be an extension for completing work at the end of Semester 2.
Let your teachers know when you have questions and need help.
In person learning will occur four days a week - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesdays will continue to be distance learning days for all students.

Mask Requirements

Masks must cover the nose and mouth.
Masks should be two or more layers.
Masks must be worn any time or place where other people are present.
Masks may be removed at mealtimes, outdoors, and during mask breaks.
Parents will be notified for the first two incidents of students not following mask requirements; a third incident may result in students returning to distance learning.
