Online instruction will begin tomorrow on Wednesday, March 18th. We will follow our rotating block schedule. Please be aware that Wednesday, March 18th is a ‘C’ day. Students will follow their ‘C’ day schedule on Wednesday, March 18th. The attached template will assist you with staying organized as you attend each block. If you’re having difficulty signing into homeroom, please email your homeroom teacher and guidance counselor
Attendance/Homeroom: Homeroom starts at 8:50 am and Block 1 will begin at 9:00 am. Students must sign-in correctly at 8:50 am to homeroom to be marked present. If a student signs in late, they MUST email their homeroom teacher.
Students who do not sign into homeroom during the designated time will be marked absent for the school day. Your child’s homeroom teacher will post a daily attendance question in his or her Google Classroom and this will serve as the attendance check-in.
Please remember that these days will count towards the student’s attendance policy.
Remote Learning Schedule: Each block will be 40 minutes long with a 5-minute break in between. Students must be logged in as an active participant during their assigned class. The day will end at 1:25. Students are required to regularly check their school email throughout each day.
Teacher Availability: In addition to planning and posting the virtual lessons, all teachers will be checking email between 8:50 a.m.-1:25 p.m. Monday-Friday. Students should already know how to contact their teachers through Google Classroom and/or by email. They are encouraged to do so whenever necessary.
Student Support Staff: Our guidance counselor, SAC, nurse, and Child Study Team members are also available via email if you have questions or need assistance.
Google Classroom: Our students are very familiar with Google Classroom, which is the platform teachers will use to communicate and post assignments. We encourage all parents to view their child’s Google Classrooms.
*Students should utilize their school Gmail accounts not a personal Gmail account.
Technology Support: Our school technology staff will be available from 8:50 am -1:25 pm Monday-Friday. You can email them anytime at lhetzel@rutherfordschools.org
The learning from home model will be an imperfect situation. It needs to be imperfect and we need to forgive ourselves for that. We are all going to do the best we can each day .. that is all we can do … any day. It will not be the same as having the children with us inside the friendly, supportive, dynamic confines of our classrooms. We will support one another, and we will get through this TOGETHER! Stay healthy, and be safe!
