REMOTE LEARNING UPDATE
 

NEW!  COMMUNICATION HUB  

Do not forget to use the communication hub on our school website to begin your week.  Scroll down towards the middle of the page to view classroom links for announcements and the week's overview.  Teachers will have their links updated before Monday of each week.
 

In an effort to streamline communication between home and school and to make communication more efficient, all learning opportunities, lessons, and assignments will be explained and communicated EXCLUSIVELY on the website and through SeeSaw and/ or Google Classroom.  

​

SEESAW *- Kindergarten to Grade 3 and specialists (PHE, Music, and French) are using Seesaw to post learning activities. 

*N.B. For Seesaw, parents/students should be using the CLASS app and NOT the Family App during remote learning to access the learning activities and to post work.

​

GOOGLE CLASSROOM - Grades 4 to 7 and specialists (PHE, Music, and French) are using Google Classroom to post learning activities.  Some intermediate classes are using a combination of Seesaw and Google Classroom.  Your teachers specify this in their weekly overview.

​

Tutorials for both Seesaw and Google Classroom are now available on the school website just below the weekly overviews.  Thank you to our partners Classmate for these resources.

​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

An FAQ resource will be posted on our school website early this week. 

For now, one of the questions that has been asked is "Can my child go to more than one Learning Block and stay for the entire block?"  The answer is YES.  Though teachers may not be instructing for the entire block, they are there to support students who check in or would like to stay to do any asynchronous work assigned that week. If your home situation requires and  if you adjust your home schedules so that it aligns with Learning Blocks, then your child can do asynchronous  work in the presence of their teacher on zoom.    

​

Parents, please, develop the routine of checking the  SCHOOL WEBSITE, SEESAW, AND/OR GOOGLE CLASSROOM to start each day for any new announcements.

​
