UPDATE about the digital school day for students. We have provided teachers with increased guidance for maximizing learning, organizing small group instruction,... and building in screen breaks. This additional guidance to teachers will help to reduce the amount of time our students, especially our youngest learners, are spending in front of a computer screen -- without a break. During screen breaks, students may turn their cameras off and mute their computers while they relax and refresh. For kindergarten students, we’ve shortened the instructional day to 120 minutes, added a 20-minute break with an additional 20 minutes for fun physical activities. Your child’s teacher can provide more details about how these changes will impact your child’s individual schedule. We hope that these improvements will help students to better engage in and enjoy their digital learning experience. See more
