Fitch Distance Learning

Dear parents,

Tomorrow we will begin our distance learning program. This proves to be a unique experience for us all. Rest assured that we have been planning and preparing to ensure a quality learning experience for your child. We will be using our grade level blogs to post information about the curriculum overall as usual.  Please be sure to bookmark the blog if you haven’t already as information regarding Lower School is also posted here. This will make it easier to access.

Students will be using Google Classroom to receive all activities and assignments for their distance learning. They are aware of their login information. However, should you need assistance logging in, please let me know. I encourage you to ask your child about Google Classroom and have them show you the work they are doing. 

The student schedule below outlines what each day will look like. The times listed are the times that activities will be posted for each subject area. Please add movement and nutrition breaks throughout the day as needed. We encourage students to have breaks from screens, so please complete the activities when appropriate for your family.  We do however, need your child present for class meetings which will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10:00 am.

To prepare your child, please create a workspace in your home. This should be somewhere where your child is visible to you or other caregivers. Please also ensure your child has a device that has video and sound capabilities and has all recent updates. The link for Wednesday’s meeting is HERE.

I will have one hour each day when I will be available online. This time is 10:30-12:30. Should you or your child like to connect with me, please send me an email at  leighann.fitch@graded.br  Additionally, there will be individual check-in times for each child during the week. This schedule will also be posted in Google Classroom. 

Finally, regular attendance and completion of activities are important for your child’s success. Please ensure your child is available for all class meetings and completes activities (and submits assignments when due). Additionally, please ask your child questions about the work they are doing. Your interest in their learning is invaluable. 

I look forward to continuing to support your child through this transition.

Sincerely,

Leigh Ann Fitch
