every Friday as well as at least one other time throughout the week checking in.

For the assignments uploaded weekly to the portfolios, teachers will provide

and workspace for completion, and encourage them to do their best. Please hold

them accountable for their reading logs (to be collected upon return), upload their

menu items to SeeSaw by Friday of each week, and reach out to their teacher if

you have any questions or concerns.
