Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to Quarter 4.
Mr. B and I sent out an email on Saturday to inform you of our next steps in how we are going to approach remote learning in the coming weeks. Please make sure you have read that before starting today’s work.
With us rolling out live teaching sessions, it is going to be important that your child has a daily routine and a proper work place for these sessions. They must be prepared before the group sessions start. Once we’ve trialed everything this week, we will be able to see what works and what doesn’t work. We will address video etiquette and expectations again today – We will not accept any inappropriate behaviour during live sessions.
Daily lessons will be posted on the blog. All live support will be through Microsoft Teams (Chat and video). Unfortunately MT only allows use to see 4 screens at a time, so we will be using Zoom to do our group sessions.Students don’t need to create Zoom accounts and can join the session through the link provided in the general chat area of MT (legally, w cannot create Zoom accounts for your children). We will record the live sessions and upload the videos in the appropriate file area in MT.
If you have any issues or problems, please let us know. We’re learning through this process as well.
