Family Communication- Student Home Learning Plan

Dear Families,

We have been working the last few days to put together a comprehensive home learning plan for your child. There are so many considerations to make as we plan for your child's long distance education. Please remember that this is just as new to us as it is for you and your child.

Our goals are to provide learning activities that students can complete independently to maintain skills already taught. Since your child will benefit from daily engagement with activities we have set up a learning plan for each day of the week. In doing this we are aware that there are more demands on households right now with parents working from home or still going to work. Please know that we understand and do not want to overwhelm or stress out students or families. This learning plan is meant to be a guide. 

Moving forward, we are unsure as to the pacing of each day. Each child is unique in how they work. One child may finish an assignment in 15 minutes whereas another will take 30. We will be checking in with your child to make sure the balance is there. We are also aware that things come up and not all work is able to get completed on a given day. We are flexible! 

Setting daily goals and a routine for what your child will accomplish can help make tasks meaningful and build confidence. 

We will hold office hours every morning from 9am to 10am Monday-Friday. This would be a good time for both students and parents to connect with questions or comments.

Again, we recognize that not all students will be able to complete these assignments. Any effort made to maintain these skills is appreciated.

Here is a link to the Home Learning Plan. We will share this link with students but wanted you to have access as well. The Home Learning Plan will be posted in Google Classroom in both Alling Homeroom and Coviello Homeroom.

In closing, be sure to take care of yourselves. We will miss our students in the coming weeks and look forward to seeing them soon.

Thank you for your support,

Rachel Alling & Melissa Coviello
