Distance Learning

What is Distance Learning at Hunter Elementary and is it right for my student? 

All Hunter teachers are currently tasked with providing both in-person and distance learning options for students. Teachers at every grade level are working hard to develop lessons for students to ensure they learn and engage in activities in order to master grade level core concepts by the end of the school year. 

Distance learning looks different at every grade level and is similar but not the same as in-person learning, so online students would not be expected to be at their computer from 9:05-3:45! Teachers typically use a combination of video, stream, and online activities for students. Often times teachers may record live teaching so students at home can watch in real time, or tune in to the video at a better time in their schedule at home. There may be opportunities for online small group instruction for students as well. Distance learners are a part of our school community and we will make intentional effort to ensure they feel part of our Hunter Family. 

Distance Learning Expectations. 

Below you will find our schools expectation for distance learning. We hope to be clear as we navigate the needs of both teachers and students, and provide a high quality education for our students choosing to engage in remote learning. 

Hunter Teachers Will…

● Provide instruction through the Google Classroom platform that includes
various modalities of instruction, assignments and assessments.
● Plan Distance Learning curriculum to match the pace of our Face to Face
learners.
● Communicate with families weekly via email. Sometimes these emails
end up in junk mail. Please check all email folders.
● Schedule online meetings (Zoom or Google meet) on Fridays to
build community, provide instructional support and answer
questions.
● Provide support during the week via email, phone calls and/or scheduled
appointments.
● Provide feedback on student assignments
● Continue to follow our district’s Proficiency Based Learning policy.
Grades will be based on proficiency scales and student assessments.
● Use assessments to determine students’ proficiency of grade level
content standards.

on a school issued Chromebook.

Hunter Families Will…

● Reach out if support is needed via Google Classroom, email or phone.
● Check for work completion daily by looking at your students google
classroom assignments in order to prepare for assessments.
● Ensure that students complete assessments independently.
● Use Chromebooks to engage in distance learning. Other devices may not
be compatible with our assignments.
● Check in regularly to ensure students are engaging in the work and
accountable for the workload.
