Elementary School

Individual schedules will be distributed to students at orientation before the start of classes. Elementary students will have daily online teacher instruction/class time and independent work time. The schedules below reflect the approximate amount of time students will engage in their learning weekly/daily.  Exact times and expectations during the instructional time frames will be shared at the beginning of the school year.  The instructional time will include teacher instruction, class discussion, independent work, and small group collaboration at each teacher's discretion and professional decision.

Elementary curriculum will combine District 6 approved digital content and core content in Schoology delivered and monitored by the homeroom teacher. 

• Students will engage daily in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science.
• Students will engage in special rotations in Art, Music, Social/Emotional Learning, and P.E.   
• Students will engage in regular 1:1 mentor time with the teacher alongside their learning coach.

Students will be assessed through a combination of formal assessments, informal assessments, and digital content data reports.

• Literacy and Writing: common & benchmark assessments, anecdotal records through ongoing teacher observations, checks for understanding, custom sets, checkpoints, quick writes, and short constructed responses
• Math: Common & Benchmark Assessments, Exit Tickets
• Science: Inquiry Projects, Project Checkpoints
• Social Studies: Inquiry Projects, Project Checkpoints

Teachers will grade student work based on a body of evidence for literacy, math, science, and social studies using the current elementary report card. Report cards will be posted quarterly in Infinite Campus.
