Elementary Principals' Letter to Families - April 13, 2020
Elementary Principals' Letter to Families about OJRSD Board Policy #815 - April 20, 2020
ATTENDANCE EXPECTATIONS
The District is required to account for daily attendance. Credit for attendance will be taken by student participation in the daily activities that occur throughout the day. It is important to note that “participation” at every grade level is going to be different. Teachers will submit their daily attendance by 3:00 p.m.
If your child is sick or there is a family emergency, please treat it like any other sick day and call the attendance line at 610-469-5688, to report the illness.
LEARNING EXPECTATIONS
Students will participate in an asynchronous approach to learning. All lessons will be shared in flexible formats via Google Classroom or Seesaw. The teacher lessons may take approximately 10-20 minutes to view, but students should work beyond the teaching time on independent or guided practice. Teachers will provide feedback to students, and they will be available to meet with students for up to one hour each day during “office hours.”
K-1 focus of instruction: reading, phonics, math
2-6 focus of instruction: reading, writing, math
NEW: Science and social studies will be required weekly. This will start the week of April 20 or April 27 depending on the grade level.
PARTICIPATION EXPECTATIONS
As mentioned, this will vary by grade level, by subject, and even by lesson. Teachers will share their expectations daily to maintain each student’s continuity of education.
GOOGLE CLASSROOM
*To sign-in to a Google Classroom, you must be logged into an OJRSD Google account.
Need help accessing your child's Google account username and password information? Send an e-mail to Mr. Eisenhuth or Mrs. Rapp.
As a reminder to students, the lessons that teachers are preparing and delivering right now are intended for instructional use. Students do not have permission to record and repost lessons nor manipulate the content. Be respectful in online communication with teachers and peers.

WIFI SUPPORT
If you do not have wifi, here are a few suggestions:
1. If you are a Verizon Wireless customer, you received 15GB of mobile hotpot data to your plan at no charge from 3/25-4/30.
2. Comcast has provided free Internet where there is a density of Comcast users (OJRSD). Look for "xfinitywifi" in your network choices.
3. Comcast will send all new customers a free self-install kit that includes a cable modem with a Wi-Fi router. There will be no term contract or credit check and no shipping fee. To sign up, applicants can simply visit www.internetessentials.com. The accessible website also includes the option to video chat with customer service agents in American Sign Language. There are also two dedicated phone numbers 1-855-846-8376 for English and 1-855-765-6995 for Spanish.
