[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Although school buildings remain closed at this time, teaching and learning will continue for students. Review and enrichment with teachers began on Monday, April 20. Planned instruction for the District will resume on May 4th and end June 12th. As we move to digital learning, we know parents and guardians are being asked to engage in new roles in their student\u2019s learning. To help ease you into this work, below is guidance and suggestions:<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Planned Instruction – Beginning May 4, teachers will provide 3 hours\/day of planned instruction via Google Classroom. Students in grades K-12 will use their District-issued Chromebooks to participate. Planned Instruction will cover content in Math, English, Science, Social Studies, World Language, Health\/P.E., Postsecondary Readiness, CTE, as well as special education and related services. Lessons are intended to reinforce prior learning, provide enrichment activities, and introduce new learning to all students.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Google Classroom – Google Classroom is the primary platform where teachers will post assignments, conduct lessons, and communicate with students. Some schools may continue to use other approved online platforms such as Edgenuity or Canvas.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Participation – Each student, by the method available, is expected to login to their student portal each school day, Monday through Friday. If navigating to online adaptive programs or Google Classroom, students should login through their Student Portal.<\/p>\n

\u25cb\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Students enrolled in grades 9-12, a true middle school (i.e., a 5-8 or 6-8 school), Engineering & Sciences HS, Penn Treaty HS, Hill Freedman Academy, GAMP and Masterman should log into the Student Portal each school day and navigate to \u201cAssignments Due Today\u201d to mark as one indication of their participation in each attendance bearing course scheduled for that day. Students, please see this link for instructions on how to submit your participation through the Portal.<\/a>
\n\u25cb\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Another indication of participation is the completion and submission of assignments to teachers.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Grading – The District is shifting from four marking terms to three. Students\u2019 final grades will be an average of the three terms. Students may receive grades for new assignments, missed assignments, and make-up assignments on or after May 4th. All students in grades K-12 will be promoted based on the current marking guidelines. If you have questions, please contact your child\u2019s teacher or counselor.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Communicating with Teachers – All teachers will have scheduled office hours to provide instructional support for students and answer questions for families. Your child\u2019s teacher will reach out to you as well via email or phone. Please check your email on a regular basis, if possible, so you don\u2019t miss important messages.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Expectations for Families:<\/p>\n

\u25cb\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Communicate with their child’s teacher and\/or principals if they have questions.
\n\u25cb\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Establish a place for learning at home that minimizes distractions and work to establish a routine for learning at home while also being flexible when needed
\n\u25cb\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Set realistic goals for themselves and their child(ren).
\n\u25cb\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remind their child to check in with their teacher if they have concerns or need support and encourage them to take breaks for snacks, exercise, and play.<\/p>\n

We look forward to when we can all come back together in person, in our schools and offices. The School District of Philadelphia remains committed to working together and teaming with our partners to support you and your children. Please stay home as much as possible and please take good care of yourselves and your loved ones.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
