Important-Distance Learning Etiquette:

  • Some students are not participating appropriately in Distance Learning and disrupting the learning environment for all.  This will not be tolerated.

  • The teachers will be advised to remove your child if they are not conducting themselves appropriately.

  • A family conference with the teacher and I will be required for their return.

  • Distance Learning Expectations for Your Child

  • This may be helpful to all families to review as students are moving in and out of school with quarantines.

Nayatt Learning Models:

  • Students who are out sick or being monitored for covid symptoms may participate in Distance Learning.

  • Students are not allowed to participate in Distance Learning at random.  This is carefully followed and documented and can be cause for an attendance investigation.

  • Email Mrs. Patota and the classroom teacher so we can mark your child, “virtually present” and make sure they can access the classroom.

  • Students who are on vacation are considered an unexcused absence and are not allowed to participate virtually.
