Grade 6-8 Guidelines
After receiving initial notice from the Head of School about school closure and timelines, families will receive an email from the grade 6-8 Principal with division-specific information
The primary tools for communication between teachers and families will be GMail and PowerSchool
Teachers will either link materials linked in PowerSchool class pages or share materials directly to each student’s Google Classroom
Distance learning for our early adolescent learners will focus on having a balanced, holistic learning experience. Students will have both off- and on-screen learning activities designed to engage the middle school learner
Learning experiences are designed to be completed independently or in collaboration with other students. Tutoring is not recommended, nor should a parent/guardian be too involved
Resources vary by class and lesson, but will include links to videos, graphic organizers or cloze passages to complete, scanned material to read and engage with, independent research material
Students are encouraged to be proactive in reaching out to teachers when they have questions or assignments are unclear
Counselors and advisors are always available to support students with academic, social, or emotional needs.
