What is remote learning?
Remote learning will take place whenever the district decides it is unsafe to attend in person due to weather, a delayed start, or an early dismissal that changes the normal routine of the learning day/week.
What does remote learning look like for my preschooler?
Remote learning will look different for a preschooler than it will for older students. It will also look different than being in the classroom, but we know they learn best through activities where play is utilized. We will not send home packets of papers to complete or force them to be on technology for activities. The activities will consist of things you can do at home to help students build on their current skills. We ask that you send us a couple of pictures of your child doing activities through Class Dojo.
