Thank you so much for attending our first ever Virtual Curriculum Night! We loved getting to connect with you and give you a glimpse into the exciting year ahead. If you were not able to make it, you can click the link below to view our Curriculum Night Presentation:
Frequently Asked Questions from Curriculum Night:
Can we use headphones, etc from the school supplies set?
If your child will continue learning virtually after September 8th, please use the materials from the School Supply Pack as directed. They are welcome to use their headphones to help create a quiet learning environment for them to best learn.
Is there a textbook to follow through the year?
We do not have a specific text book that our learners will use. We use follow the CISD Scope and Sequence which can be found in the "Course Information" folder in each Schoology Course. We will use curriculum resources like Lucy Calkin's Readers and Writers Workshop as a means of following this Scope and Sequence.
What constitutes a tardy for online learning? What happens if an assignment is turned in late?
Online learners are able to access and submit the content until 11:59 pm that same day. A learner's attendance is tracked through engagement and submission of lessons daily, therefore there is not a tardy system for virtual learners.
If a learner were to turn in an assignment after 11:59 pm, engagement for that content area would be missing for that same day.
As a parent, how can I help make the transition into face to face school go smoothly?
We are excited about welcoming back some of our learners face to face next week. We suggest preparing your learner by telling them what to expect on Tuesday. Parents will not be able to walk students down the classrooms on Tuesday morning so please let them know that you will say goodbye to them at the car and a teacher will walk them down to Mrs. Torti, Mrs. Brehm, or Miss Rice. They will be wearing a mask during the day aside from scheduled outdoor mask breaks so it would be good to practice wearing over the weekend too if they are not comfortable with it. We will be eating lunch in the cafeteria at 10:30 a.m. You can send a lunch from home or buy a school lunch. Click HERE to see our cafeteria lunch menu. You can add money to your child's online lunch account by visiting www.myschoolbucks.com .
Please be sure to send a peanut free snack in their backpack, a water bottle, and a change of clothes!
We are going to have a great day!
