Dear AMS eLearners, We hope you have been doing well and enjoying learning from home. We are getting ready for a pretty big schedule change, so I want to remind you of a few things. We did mail you home a schedule, so please keep checking the mail. We also emailed you a detailed guide, but eLearners have a few more pieces to know.
- We will no longer have a Morning Meeting and you will simply have your attendance taken 1st period each day. You must sign on by 7:45am to be marked present.
- You have a full schedule and there is less time for asynchronous learning. You will be following our normal AMS schedule and many of your classes will consist of you remoting into a live class. We have more full eLearning classes for our 5th & 6th graders, but even they will be remoting in at times.
- You should be using the Google Meet Code for every class you have in Google Classroom to access your classes. We will be posting a virtual schedule for you to use. The weekly matrices will no longer be updated and everything will be listed in each class's Google Classroom.
- You should assume all classes are synchronous "live", but look at the Google Classroom stream for each class to see if your teacher posted an asynchronous activity for the day. Specials and PE will be asynchronous regularly, so please check those schedules closely.
- If your class time starts and you are having trouble getting on, please call us at 630.279.6160 to get help instantly.
- When you have Viking Time, you should be working on your VT Choice Board.
- Please work from a school like setting and dress appropriately. Pretend you are actually coming into school and try to work at a table or desk. You will now feel much more like you're in a regular class as you remote in.
We will all be adjusting to our new learning experiences next week, so please do not feel overwhelmed. Call us at any time and we will all learn these processes together next week.
Take Care,
Ms. Aulisa
