September 11-18, 2020
The focus of this week is to get students comfortable with our new COVID-19 protocols and how school will be operating as we start up the 2020-21 year. We will also be working to get students reacquainted with the online platform of Microsoft Teams while commencing lessons in all four of our subject areas: Science, Social Studies, English, and Physical and Health Education.
Microsoft Teams – This is the platform we used during our province-wide move to online learning last spring. We are aiming to use this as the primary method for delivery of content to students and receiving work from students. You can use your school district login information to access all of the Microsoft Office products online at https://www.office.com/. Please spend some time getting familiar with the Teams app (communicate with other students in our classes, send a message to Mr. Larsen or Mrs. Hartfield, ask other teachers about missing work, etc.). See your Teams app for learning opportunities.
