OVERVIEW OF THE LCS DISTANCE LEARNING PLAN - Parents are not expected to homeschool their child. - Distance learning will include a variety of online videos, teacher-directed activities, and independent work. - All communications and instructions will be posted on the Facts Family Portal (formerly RenWeb). - Some teachers will be teaching classes through Zoom (a video conferencing app). - All classes taught in Zoom will be recorded and posted on the class page in Family Portal for student review as needed. - Short tutorial videos for using Family Portal will be available soon and sent via email and text. Don’t hesitate to call or email teachers and administrators for assistance. A teacher’s email address can be found on their classroom page in Family Portal.
COMMUNICATIONS - Assignments will be available on a weekly basis each Sunday by 6:00 p.m. - Each teacher will post daily virtual office hours and/or the process for contacting them for assistance. - Virtual Office Hours for administrators will be Monday-Friday from 12:00-3:00pm. However, in the case of a critical question,
contact an administrator at any time. Norman Rowe: [email protected] 601-606-4751 Gerald Henderson: [email protected] 601-319-7793
SUGGESTED DAILY ACADEMIC WORKLOAD - K - 3rd Grade: 1-3 hours daily - 4th - 8th Grade: 3-4 hours daily - 9th-12th Grade: 4-6 hours daily
Routines are very important for children during this time, so, whatever schedule you choose to adopt, it is recommended that you stick with it. Please note that these are only suggested times. Each student will work at a different pace.
GRADING - LCS will continue to assess and grade student work. - Skills and content will be assessed in a variety of ways. Assignments, quizzes, tests, etc. will be used. As we continue to develop
this program, the precise protocol for testing will be communicated. - Any questions about your child’s progress should be addressed directly with your child’s teacher(s).
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY - Parents, please resist the temptation of providing too much assistance to your child. If they are struggling or frustrated, encourage
them to reach out directly to the teacher during their office hours. - This plan is designed to focus on skills, be low stress, and promote independent student work with the appropriate instruction from
teachers. - We want students to be challenged, to reinforce previously learned skills, and to continue learning and developing new skills and
knowledge.
PROCEDURE FOR RETURNING AND PICKING UP ASSIGNMENTS - Elementary Campus
Completed assignments will need to be dropped off at the Elementary campus on Friday, April 3rd, from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Assignment packets for the following week will also need to be picked up at this time. Boxes/bins will be arranged by grade at the student drop-off/pick-up location.
- Jr. High & High School Campus
Most teachers will have a procedure set up for submitting completed work via Family Portal. Friday, April 3rd from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. a bin will be located at the High School campus entrance to turn in any assignments that could not be submitted electronically. Please make sure that papers submitted include: student’s name, teacher’s name, and course/class name. A table will be located at the school entrance with any additional packets or information that a teacher may need to distribute. These packets will be labeled by grade and class. Each teacher will inform their students if they have a packet that needs to be picked up.
Drop-off and pick-up times for subsequent weeks will be communicated as needed via Family Portal.
