E-Learning Frequently Asked Questions
When does remote learning start?
How long will remote learning take place?
At this time, we know we will use e-learning at least through April 16th. This time frame may be extended if mandated by President Trump or Governor Polis. The worst-case scenario would be that we continue e-learning for the remainder of the school year ending May 28th.
How often is my Explorer expected to participate in e-learning?
E-learning is our temporary replacement for the traditional school setting so we are planning lessons for each school day, Monday through Thursday each week.
What is my Explorer expected to do on a daily basis?
- Explorers are expected to view video instruction and content on their grade level google site. There will be lessons for CREW, reading/English language arts/phonics (depending on grade level) and math.
- Explorers are expected to complete and turn in accompanying assignments via google classroom.
- Explorers are also expected to participate in and complete 2 Creative Arts and 2 Adventure Bound (PE) lessons each week.
- Explorers are also encouraged to do 20 minutes of iReady Math and 20 minutes of iReady reading in addition to the assigned activities.
