Parent Update- Plan for Remote Learning- 9.2.20

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we begin the 20-21 school year, it is our goal to keep you up to date on the most recent information. I wanted to take this opportunity to make you aware of some information pertaining to our Remote Learning Plan. We will begin our 2020-2021 preschool year remotely on September 8th. Your child will be receiving lessons and instruction synchronously (live- Zoom) and asynchronously (recorded video lessons). Here is a preliminary overview of how remote learning will be implemented.

Students will have live virtual lessons four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday). These live lessons will be available through Zoom. The link and corresponding class times will be distributed to you through your classroom teacher.

Students will also be assigned individualized live Zoom instruction. This may occur 1:1 or in a small group setting. This will be dependent upon the skill set we are working on for that week.

Students and families will also have access to SeeSaw which will serve as our on-line learning platform. All information will be housed within this platform. This will include recorded videos, updates and reminders. Your classroom teachers will be providing you with these access codes within the next 2 weeks.

Please keep in mind that the Remote Learning Plan can transfer into a hybrid plan or eventually full face to face instruction at any time.

For the 2020-2021 school year, we are also offering a full virtual classroom. If you are interested in a full virtual setting it will look very similar to the Remote Learning Plan but will remain in place for the entire year. If you would prefer the virtual option it is a minimum of a semester commitment.

While we are striving to keep you updated in a timely manner, due to COVID-19 we have been faced with some unique challenges and frequent changes. For the most up to date information always check our website: http://www.esclakeeriewest.org/EarlyChildhoodProgram.aspx

Yours in education,
