In School Support Days Wed. April 17and Thur. April18
Posted April 15, 2024
We will be following the Week 2 schedule.
Hello Eastwood Families,
We are sending out a reminder that this coming Wednesday April 17 and Thursday April 18 are Instructional Support days. These days can be used by students to get caught up on work and/or connect with teachers either virtually or in person. Classroom teachers can work with students on assignment completion, and/or offer additional opportunities for students to demonstrate a skill or curriculum expectation that has been missed or requires further support.
- Students are required to attend remotely or in-person, depending on the needs of the student. Teachers will communicate with their students the expectation/schedule for those days in advance. Though many students may be working from home, students will be marked “present” for attendance purposes if they have engaged with the teacher virtually (e.g., conferencing/feedback sessions; participation in the virtual classroom; submitting owed work; etc.)
- ACE students will attend school with regular programming and following regular attendance procedures.
- Transportation will run at regular times.
- Teaching staff will be in attendance at school during these days.
