Today's remote learning day provided us with an opportunity to refine our practice relating to Unified Arts classes. Instead of allowing each student to choose the UA class they wished to attend, students will now follow the UA schedule their teacher provides to them.

Tips for UA Success:

- Please make sure your student attends the correct UA class AND time. Their teacher will share that information with them right before they log off the morning session. The idea is for them to be the only class (like a regular day) in their UA course which will allow them a richer experience.

- When your student signs on, please ensure they are muted and ready to go.

- UA courses have been shortened by 10 minutes to allow each class an opportunity to have a dedicated UA course for the day.

Overall, I was very impressed with remote learning today. Without looking at the numbers, attendance seemed better than an in-person day with students engaged and actively participating. I'd much rather be in-person and my hope for that is to occur extremely soon, but until then, students are in good hands with our teachers working remotely.

Counting tomorrow, we've used two of our five remote learning days. If necessary, we have three more available for the remainder of the school year.
