亲爱的家长/监护人，

自从政府于11月24日宣布7-12年级的所有学生将于11月30日开始居家学习以来，我们一直在努力提供更多关于您孩子居家学习的细节。

我们的教师和职员在今年秋天已经学到了很多有关在线支援学生的经验，我们相信我们的教师们能够成功地转向在线学习，即将到来的星期一。

在您的孩子明天离开学校之前，我们将为他们准备好他们在家中可以期望的学习事项。这包括确保您孩子知道如何登陆、访问在线学习工具以及如何在教师使用的平台上操作。

学生和教师将按照目前的课表进行学习

重要的是要认识到居家学习与您的孩子可能在去年春天经历的情况不同。

从11月30日至12月18日以及寒假之后的第一个星期，学生和教师将继续按照目前的课表在线学习，包括任何配套课程。这意味着学生将被要求在通常上课的时间登陆。出勤将会被记录。课程可能包括短暂的教学、小组工作会议以及回答个体问题。教师将继续对您的孩子的学习进行评估，并且他们可能会记录部分教学内容以支持共享技术的家庭。

如果您的孩子目前不在学校或在家隔离，他们将被允许在完成隔离期后进入学校取回所需的物品。否则，无法隔离的家庭成员可以取回这些物品。物品可能包括教科书、讲义和配套课程所需的材料。

技术考虑

如果您需要为孩子在家学习而使用的技术设备，学校有数量有限的Chromebook供学生借用。在面授课程恢复后，家庭需要将这些设备归还学校。请与您的学校联系以提出任何要求。

如果家庭在技术或学习平台方面遇到困难，还设有一张家长支持服务台可供使用。更多信息可以在我们的网站上找到。

我们知道这个过度可能对一些家庭而言可能会很困难。我们想向您保证，我们始终致力于您孩子的健康和尽力支持他们的学习需求。在省级的2020-21年学校重返指南的第18页开始，有一份广泛的支援名单。

您的学校将在未来数天和数周内提供更多具体信息。如果您有任何疑虑，请与您孩子的教师联系。

真挚地，

Christopher Usih
学校总监

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Since the government announced on Nov. 24 that all Grade 7-12 students would move to at-home learning on Nov. 30, we have been working to provide more details about what that will look like for your child(ren).

Our teachers and staff have learned a great deal this fall about supporting students online, and we are confident that our teachers will move successfully to online learning this coming Monday.

Before your child leaves our schools tomorrow, we will have prepared them for what they can expect at home. This includes making sure your child knows how to log in, access online learning tools, and how to navigate in the platform their teachers will be using.

Students and teachers will follow their current timetable

It is important to recognize that at-home learning will look different from what your child may have experienced last spring.

From Nov. 30 to Dec. 18, and for the first week after the winter break, students and teachers will continue to follow their current timetable online, including any complementary courses. That means that students will be expected to log in at the usual time for the beginning of their classes. Attendance will be taken. Classes could include short lessons, group work sessions and responding to individual questions. Teachers will continue to assess your child’s learning while they are at home, and they may be recording parts of their lessons to support families that are sharing technology. 

If your child is currently away from school or isolating at home, they will be allowed to enter the school to pick up any needed supplies once they have completed their isolation period. Otherwise, another family member who is not isolating may retrieve the items. Supplies might include textbooks, handouts and materials needed for complementary courses.

Technology Considerations

If you need technology for your child to learn at home, schools do have limited numbers of Chromebooks for students to borrow. Families will need to return these devices to schools once in-person classes resume. Please contact your school with any requests.

A parent support desk is also available for any families experiencing difficulties with the technology or learning platforms. More information can be found on our website.

We know that this transition may be difficult for some families. We want to assure you that we remain committed to your child’s well-being and to supporting their learning needs to the best of our ability. There is an extensive list of supports starting on page 18 of the province’s 2020-21 School Re-Entry Guide​.

Your school will be providing additional and more specific information, over the coming days and weeks. If you have any concerns, please reach out to your child’s teacher.

Sincerely,

Christopher Usih
Chief Superintendent of Schools
