Dear parents and class
8B,
The government committed to
providing supplemental curriculum supports while classes are suspended, but we
are still not sure what that will look like. Starting Friday, March 20, all
school divisions in the province will pause educational operations for a
one-week period. This one week away will
allow the Response Planning Team and individual school divisions to put in
longer term plans to support students, staff and families while classes remain
suspended.
So patience and self-care
are a priority right now as well as social isolation to slow the spread of this
virus. Take time to rest, be with family
and pursue your passions. For now, we
are getting your report cards for term 2 prepared to be mailed out to you. There will not be any conferences at this
time. We will be able to communicate
further after the week break.
For those students who would like activities to do, there are many
online sources. They can access
mathletics and epic books from home. Our
class code for epic books is xnd7251.
There are both French and English books there online. They can also watch episodes in French at
ici-radio-canada. We have used these
resources in class so the students are familiar with it already.
Students remember to
be careful on social media. Parents it
is a good idea to check your student’s social media, ask them about the kind of
messages they are getting and who they are chatting with. We have talked in class about what is
socially appropriate, keeping your accounts private to avoid unwanted
attention, blocking people who are inappropriate, demeaning or disrespectful
and being good online citizens.
Be careful out there
whether you are on social media or in public (I know we still need to get food,
otherwise isolate and enjoy some time as family units).
We will communicate
further after the week break, once we have been informed of the next steps.
