Smith Class of 2021

  Setting your child up for success: As we prepare to embark on this new school year and distance learning, please help your child find a space in which they will be able to focus while they work.  Please help them organize their school materials so they are readily available during the school day. *If you have multiple children who will be distance learning, it may help for each child to use headphones with a microphone so they are better able to focus and participate in class/small group discussions. Student Behavior Expectations During Meeting Times: Join the session on time --attendance will be taken and reported Students mute themselves upon entering the meeting Student camera must be on The chat feature is only for questions/ comments related to the session Students need to focus on the lesson / activity / topic and avoid working on other things (i.e., email, texting, side conversations, or other assignments)
