LEARNING PLANS for Students in QUARANTINE

POLAND REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Any time a student must quarantine because they are a close contact, PRHS teachers will be sure to send students work through Google Classroom.  Google Classroom is updated regularly and students should be able to keep up with missed work.  Students can email teachers for help on any assignments.

 

WHITTIER MIDDLE SCHOOL

It is extremely unfortunate that quarantining has become part of the school experience over the  past couple of years. As a school, we put tremendous emphasis on daily attendance and  participation. Requiring students to stay home is disheartening, and every phone call we make to  quarantine students is hard. However, ultimately, we are following the protocol provided to us to  protect the health and safety of our school and community. We care about our kids, our staff,  and their families. 

When students have to be out, they should check Google Classroom for each of their classes each  day. Now that they have laptops, much of their work is posted online. If they have questions  about any work, they should email the teacher for help. Teachers are asked to respond to email  within 24 hours (excluding the weekend). 

All students are assigned to BARR Case Managers. For the most part, this is the teacher that your  child sees for their academic support class. It may feel overwhelming for a student to coordinate  with six different teachers, and the BARR Case Manager can be a central point of contact if  communication breaks down with other teachers. You and your child are encouraged to use the  BARR Case Manager as a resource to stay connected with school. 

When you have questions or you are not hearing back, please reach out. Dean of Students Sam  Chatto and I will help in any way that we can. We want to make sure that your child is part of  Whittier Middle School even when they can’t be in the building. 

 

MINOT CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL

MCS has identified our Interventionist who was added through our ESSER funds as our Home Academics Coordinator. The coordinator has joined the MCS Covid-19 response team.  When we have students who are out for quarantine, the coordinator will be collaborating with parents and the classroom teachers to provide academic support for students.  We have  a plan for students who will be out for both a short term quarantine (up to 10 days) or a long term quarantine (up to 21 days or more due to household exposure).  Students who are out due to a short term quarantine will be provided packets of work, may have some activities pushed out to them on Seesaw, will be asked to learn using their individualized learning path on i-Ready, and will be encouraged to read daily at home. Students who are out due to a long term quarantine will be offered a seat in the ReeL program for the time they are out for their extended quarantine.  The Home Academic Coordinator will work with Jill Mathieu around the use of academic packets and the ReeL program.
