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.
