Hello Parents and Students,
I would like to start this letter by thanking
all the students and their parents for the
hard work that they are putting to their
at-home learning.
As you know, school has been suspended
indefinitely by the Government of Manitoba.
What this means, is that at-home learning
will continue until the government deems it
safe for students to come back into the
schools. To have continued success with
at-home learning, we must continue to work
together as team.
The following is an outline of the next steps
for Forrest’s At-Home Learning Plan:
- Before Spring break, learning packages were sent home or picked up for each student with guidelines to outline what learning at-home would look like for each different classroom.
-
During the last few weeks (except for Spring Break) teachers have been reaching out to parents and students to give assistance and guidance as needed.
-
Teachers are working on new learning packages of both print and on-line resources, books, textbooks and supplies for students. The packages will contain about four weeks worth of work with guidelines on how work is to be completed.
-
Assessment of student learning will look different in each classroom. Our goal is to limit the exchange of papers at the school. Parents in Grade K-4 may be asked to send pictures or documents through their email and students may be asked to work on on-line apps to help teachers assess progress (if feasible). For students in Grade 5-8, they will be asked to use their devices to email and use online apps for assessment. There will be variations for families with limited internet access.
-
Students will get a report card in June. Thursday June 25th and Friday June 26th Report Cards will be available for pick up- details will be sent by email. Report cards not picked up will be mailed to families.
