Hello Moose,
Another wintery weather week brought an interesting school schedule. We had an early dismissal and an Alternative Structured Learning Day (Blizzard Bags). We have been approved to trial two (2) Alternative Structured Learning Days. We will be conducting a survey to collect feedback on the successes and difficulties with the bags at home. Over time, when we have broadband and a better understanding of what is successful, the bags will morph into an even better learning opportunity. Your student has 4 school days after the designated Alternative Learning Structure Day to return the completed work. They are able to receive help and accommodations from the teacher if they are confused or need support. Students will be marked absent for the Alternative Structured Learning Day if the work is not submitted by the 4th school day. Having these days counts as a school day and the day is not added on to the end of the year. As always, I continue to welcome feedback regarding these days.
I wish you and your family a wonderful February break filled with fun, relaxation, reading and laughter.
Jackie
