On Friday, September 4, 2020, the District sent out a message to families letting them know about a possible adjustment in students’ Wednesday schedule. Based on feedback that we have received from both elementary and middle school parents, students are experiencing Zoom fatigue, and students and families would like more opportunity for individual outreach. Additionally, teachers are needing more flexibility in the schedule to address small groups, provide learning opportunities away from the computer, or address individual student needs. Therefore, beginning September 16th, the Wednesday schedule may be changed by your classroom teacher. Students will still have a full day of learning on these days, however it may look different in that there will be more assignments away from the computer to help reduce screen time, more small group opportunities, or increased 1:1 time with the teacher. Teachers may still include lesson time as they have been. Teachers must still check-in with their classes to take attendance at your school’s start-time (middle school students will take attendance first period). If your child receives intervention and/or special education support, services may still take place on Wednesdays.

Aeries Parent Portal, the online student information system where parents are able to complete the traditional First Day Packet online including emergency contact information and annual notifications for their students will be closed for editing on Friday, September 11, 2020 at 4:00 PM. The editing feature of the Parent Portal allows families to update emergency contact information, review & accept mandatory district documents, change how they would like to receive communication from the school, and allows middle school families to view assignments and grades. After September 11th, the Portal will become a “view only” system and any changes will need to be made in-person at the school office. If you have not signed up for the Aeries Parent Portal, visit your school’s office for assistance.

During distance learning, students will follow a consistent structure across each grade level. This plan meets the daily instructional minute requirements set by the state. Daily instructional minutes are calculated as a combination of teacher-led instruction and additional individual assignments. Teachers will not be assigning traditional homework. Students should utilize their time after the established school day to complete any assignments that were not completed during the school day, unless those assignments are to be completed over multiple days as noted by their teacher.
