Tuesday, March 2nd- NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS
Digital Citizenship
Throughout the year, I have talked with the students about being respectful and responsible citizens. It's also important for students to be respectful and responsible digital citizens! I know that this type of learning environment can be very difficult at times and hard to concentrate and focus. However, it's very important that students are trying their very best to stay on task and work hard. Students should not have any other tabs, games or websites open while in class. I have spoken to the class about this many times. It would be much appreciated if you could also have this discussion with your child. I can often tell when students are looking at the screen but most likely not at the google meet screen or when I call their name multiple times before they answer, which tells me they might doing something else on the computer at that time. Again, having a conversation with your child about how this is not acceptable would be very helpful.
Quiet Workspace
It's also important for students to have a quiet workspace while in class. I know the circumstances can make this difficult at times, especially when there are multiple people at home. However, if tv's and other conversations around the student can be kept minimal at the time your child is in class, that would be very helpful to your child. It's difficult for students to concentrate when there are a lot background distractions. Thank you so much for your help and understanding!
