University School Update 9-26-20

Dear University School Families,

We hope you have had a wonderful fall break! As we prepare for school to resume on Monday, we want to remind everyone that we will still be 100% remote for the week of Sept. 28th (see attached calendar). As we prepare to transition to our staggered scheduled, it is expected that students attend all scheduled synchronous Zoom sessions for each of their classes during their scheduled times. Teachers will be posting the Zoom links for their classes in Canvas for this week by Sunday evening, so please be sure to have your child log into their Canvas page and email to access the links for their scheduled classes and to retrieve any messages from their teachers.

Also, one notable change for our students this quarter is that attendance will now be taken by the teachers during each class period, so please make arrangements for your child to be present for those classes whether they are attending in-person or remotely. If your child is unable to attend the scheduled synchronous Zoom session during their remote days, we ask that you please contact the office on that day to report the reason for the absence or to discuss any technical concerns that may have occurred. Again, teachers will post their Zoom links and schedule for their classes in Canvas for this week by Sunday evening.

Starting on October 5th, students will return to school two days per week and will follow the schedule listed below:

Groups A and C will attend school in-person on Monday and Tuesday, and will be remote on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Groups B and D will attend school in-person on Thursday and Friday and will be remote on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

All student group assignments have been emailed to each individual child's University School email account, so please have them login in to retrieve their assigned group information. All siblings at University School should have been assigned to the same day, so if that has not occurred, please email Dr. Day ( daya@etsu.edu ) as this is a mistake that needs to be corrected. Assignment changes will not be possible unless there is a necessary reason.

Finally, if you are planning on having your child(ren) remain fully remote, we ask that you please submit the Remote Learning Contract to this secure Dropbox link .

Have a great weekend!

Drs. Partin and Day
