This plan asks for students to continue to practice their content and special\u2019s work during these next 7 weeks. Students, parents, and&nbsp; staff have worked very hard this school year and we want to continue to work together to ensure that every student is ready for the next grade level. We know that remote learning has its challenges and that the balance between work responsibilities, sharing technology, student work, and other family obligations can make each day difficult. We ask that you look at the assignments each week and do your best to have your students practice these activities (suggested content practice minutes are listed below). Our classroom teachers will be providing recorded\/live lessons, have office hours to answer questions, and will provide the essential skills that your student(s) need to practice during this time. Please continue to check your classroom and specials teachers\u2019 blog, dojo, seesaw, remind, or google classroom each week for updated materials. Please also do not hesitate to reach out for help with content, social and emotional needs, or if your family may need help with food. We are here to help our Haigh Community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 4th card marking your students will receive a report card. This report will look different than the traditional report cards that had a 1-2-3-4 scale. The updated report card will have the following marks aligned to the Dearborn Remote Learning Plan: Meeting, Progressing, and Limited Participation. Each week classroom and specials\u2019 teachers will be looking at each students\u2019 practice and accuracy with the shared activities. At the end of the term they will then be given an overall grade of \u201cMeeting, Progressing, or Limited Participation\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help with technology, we will have additional chromebook pick up days. The first day is scheduled for <strong>Monday, April 27th<\/strong> from <strong>1:00-3:30pm. <\/strong>Any family that is interested needs to complete the survey below in order to receive a Chromebook . This survey provides us with the number of Chromebooks that our volunteers will need to clean and prep. We are very pleased to be able to offer this technology for your families! <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdCqSHWXmsiYv-i9-9qqjU0wQcP1hvC6GiKbCaTrJGdOU-cEg\/viewform?usp=sf_link\">CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE TECHNOLOGY SURVEY<\/a>. Future chromebook pick up days will be shared on our school and classroom blogs. (teachers may also have content packet pick up days to coincide with these chromebook days)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the most important thing is for our families to stay safe and healthy during this time away from Haigh. Please have your students practice their content activities with the schedule that works best for your family each week. Thank you for all that you do for your children!
