April 7^th, 2020

Dear Keeler Families,  

By now, you should have had contact from your child’s teacher. It is our goal to establish a strong partnership in communication as we strive to move student learning forward during this challenging time.  Please review the following education plans for Keeler School:  

• We will be using Google Classroom as our learning platform consistently across the school.  From here, you may be linked to your teacher’s regular blog or alternate communication methods that has been taking place throughout the year. You will receive more information about the platform and the roll out over the next week.
• Students are expected to work for one hour per day (five hours per week) in the areas of literacy and numeracy (K-3) and one hour per day (five hours per week) in literacy and numeracy with Science and Social Studies integrated (4-5). We understand that every family situation is different and learning times for each family will vary. We suggest that you try to be consistent with this time and establish a routine at home that works for your family. 
• April 6 – April 9: Ongoing teacher communication with families will take place. Teachers will be learning Google Classroom and, byMonday April 13^th by 10:00am, they will make available the first learning opportunity for students. 
• Students who require print materials will be provided weekly packages that will include all the learning assignments and tasks. Pick-up and Drop off of student learning packages will be conducted each Monday between the hours of 10:00am – 3:00pm. If you are unable to attend during these hours please contact the office (subject to change).
• Calgary Board of Education is reviewing technology usage and loaner programs for students who do not have technology resources available to them. We will continue to communicate over the coming weeks on resources that will be available to students as Keeler School does not have chrome books available to loan.
• Attached to this message we have provided you with a Google Classroom Consent, please review this document, no signature is required at this time.
• 
  

Our school remains open, so please don’t hesitate to call or email should you have any questions, our office hours are 8:30am – 3:09pm.  We know this is a stressful time for families as we attempt to work from home and/or make alternate childcare arrangements.  This is a time for all of us to be flexible as we navigate these changes.  We want you to know how much we miss your children and look forward to connecting with you this week. 

Sincerely, 

Kenny Yeung
