WCS Announces eLearning Day Information For Elementary Parents
Posted
Staff Report-
The first eLearning Day for 2017-18 for Warsaw Community Schools will take place Saturday.
This day and March 17 have been scheduled to make up school days that have been missed due to dangerous weather conditions, according to a news release from WCS. Making up lost instructional time in this manner allows students to be dismissed for the summer in late May as opposed to June.
All student assignments for the eLearning Day will be posted by 9 a.m. on the district and school website. The district website may be accessed by visiting www.warsaw.k12.in.us.
The school website may be accessed by visiting yourschoolname.warsaw.k12.in.us; for example: claypool.warsaw.k12.in.us.
All lessons will be organized by school and grade level. Each teacher’s page will provide specific instructions for the assignments to be completed as well as optional enrichment activities. If the teacher has included a parent signature form for student assignments, the parent or guardian will need to sign and return the form to school to verify lesson completion.
The assignments may be completed on the actual eLearning Day or may be completed and turned in any time prior to the start of school on the following Thursday, Feb. 22. Completion of the assignments will allow the student to be counted as in attendance on the eLearning Day. Any student who fails to turn in the assignments by the deadline will be counted absent for the eLearning Day.
On the eLearning Day, teachers may be contacted by email or other established means of communication with any questions about assignments. Additionally, a technology support line will be available for any general technology questions by calling 574-371-5088 from 9 a.m. to noon.
For individuals who do not have internet connectivity at home, students may use the wireless network that extends out into the parking lot around all of WCS’s school buildings or use the free wireless internet service and/or computers at the Warsaw Community Public Library. One computer lab in each elementary school will be open for one hour before and after school Tuesday and Wednesday.
