During this unique time in our school year, and lives in general, we are about to explore new ways of connecting with each other and sharing our learning. Now more than ever, we will need to rely on ourselves, our families and each other to stay safe, to help each other and to continue moving forward in our new normal. Communication will happen digitally where possible, but we will also look at the age old form of pen and paper where applicable.
Under Cool Links I will be adding websites worth trying as we go through this.. please check them out. |
Reconnecting with One AnotherUpdate Re September: Please listen and watch for information in the media as September approaches. The plan moving forward is still unclear with respect to details at this point.
During the first week of school, Sunrise Staff will be working to make contact with all the sudents and caregivers currently enrolled in our program. We will be reaching out via email and telephone to determine what methods will work best for everyone's needs. We are very aware that for many this will seem like a slow process, please know we are doing our best to reach everyone as soon as possible. We will be using technology, specifically Microsoft Teams, to connect with students electronically where possible. This software and service is available free of charge to all students in the VSB. Information on how to connect will be provided over the next week. For those that require devices to connect, a limited number will be available for distribution (more information to follow). |

Checking In and Making ConnectionsOnce we have set up a digital learning space, we will begin having daily connection times for the class as a whole and with individuals where possible. The details of this are still being formed, but it is looking promising at this point.
This may well be a time when students take on increased leadership and teaching roles for the staff and their peers. We have more than a few technology experts in our midst. |
