• SSMS Online Instruction Cadence/Schedule

    Sixth Six Weeks (2019-2020)

     

    Reminder: Keep it Simple!

     

    Notes: 

    • Please keep in mind that students are in wildly different situations - everything from students who are bored and need things to do, to students with no support at home that can’t access a device/are sharing it with five other people. Keep things as simple as possible, but offer opportunities for extensions to students who want to do more.
    • Admin and counselors will help with “no-show” students - reaching out to families to determine their situation

     

    Weekly Schedule:

    • Lessons to be posted by: Mondays at 9:00 a.m.
    • Work due by: the following Sunday evening, 10:00 p.m.
