Through these platforms, teachers will continue to maximize opportunities to engage students with meaningful work.  

The privacy and confidentiality of all participants is paramount. Parents/guardians must remember that  online learning is for students only and unless a student is in need of technical assistance, parents/guardians may not interrupt learning. If a parent/guardian has a question for their child’s teacher, he/she should contact the teacher outside of the learning session through email.
