As you all are aware, the local meteorologists are forecasting possible snow, ice, rain/sleet in the coming week. In the event that school is delayed, released early, or we aren't in session at all, we wanted you all to know and have the procedures for completing academic eLearning assignments while at home. Many, if not all, of your children have completed one eLearning assignment earlier in the year around December or January; the procedures are still the same. If your child has completed that assignment, then they can "bank" that particular activity as a completed eLearning (inclement weather day) assignment, and simply complete the others based on the number of days we are out of school (see directions below).
I have listed the directions and a graphic of our eLearning tasks (it's the exact information from the PI webpage). The "live" directions and links can be found on the Paine Intermediate webpage (www.trussvillecityschools.com), select schools, then Paine Intermediate. Once on our page, on the left side under resources you will find eLearning. Upon clicking that link you will see all directions, procedures and assignments for each grade level. Teachers have the eLearning tasks listed within their individual webpages as well.
Remember that the links below are a copy, but the actual live links can be found on the website.
Weather Day/eLearning Assignment Completion:
Students should complete two content area assignments for their grade level, and select one special area assignment to complete. For example, if you are in the 4th grade, choose two of the assignments from Math, Science, Social Studies and/or Reading within the 4th grade column, plus one special area assignment (art, library, or any of the others).
If we are out for more than one day, complete the remaining two subject area assignments from your grade level, and an additional special area assignment. Follow the directions listed for accurate completion of your grade level assignments. If the activity is web-based, click the link listed to be directed to the activity. All necessary usernames and passwords have been provided to your child on a label placed in their agenda books. *Teachers will provide a paper copy of assignments for students without internet access. If this applies to you, please notify your teacher on the day we return to school.
After completion, please list the completed activity for each assignment, and initial on the day(s) missed due to inclement weather in your child's agenda. Then, return the signed agenda to your classroom teacher within 14 calendar days from the missed school day(s). If the assignment is an electronically based activity (with nothing to print and submit), the teacher will be able to monitor completion of the assignment from his or her login, and see this assignment listed in the agenda. If your assignment requires printing at home, and you are unable to print, please turn in a handwritten copy to your teacher.
In the event that we are out of school for multiple days, and you complete all posted assignments, please continue to read an AR book for 30 minutes each day, and complete 30 minutes of Dreambox each day as well.
Feel free to contact your teacher via email, or the TCS technology help desk at 228-3006 if there are any questions!
