ONLINE EDUCATION
Grades 7–9
Minimum daily requirements for learning
Students should be available for synchronous (live) sessions as outlined by their timetable.
Synchronous learning time (Live Classes) - students will meet alongside other classmates and be led by their online teacher for approximately 120 minutes of instruction daily.
Students will also have small instruction time allotted by their teacher to support their learning and interventions.
Students will also have assessment blocks to ensure the teacher is assessing each child accurately.
Asynchronous learning time (Independent Learning) - students will be given independent work throughout the day where the child practices at home.
Social 7 and 8 are asynchronous classes: students must watch video recordings and regularly check Google Classroom for assignments and due dates. There is a mandatory Google Meet once a week.
Students at this age should be independent learners who know how to download their assignments and upload them for teacher review. Parents/guardians are asked to follow up with their child(ren) to ensure homework and practice work is being done and submitted on time.
Homework can either be online or in the workbooks.
Classroom supplies list has been provided by each teacher. Please check Google Classroom for more information.
