Remote Learning Information
This information is for families enrolled in our remote learning class AND for families with a child typically enrolled in-person who is in quarantine and just temporarily participating in remote learning.
WEEKLY CHOICE BOARDS
Weekly Choice Boards are where you will find daily lessons and activities. Each DAY choose one activity from each learning area (math, language, etc.) for your child to do. The weekly choice boards provide a variety of actvities that are aligned with our curriculum and Illinois Early Learning Standards. You can find the current weekly choice board on the menu to the left of this page (if viewing from a cell phone, open the menu by clicking the 3 lines that are beside the word "pages")
ATTENDANCE
Each WEEK, please share a picture or note about at least 1-2 activities that your child participated in or enjoyed that week from the Choice Board. This is how we track attendance. You can share your weekly contact via the Teaching Strategies (TSG) app, TSG website, Remote Learners Facebook page, or email svanmiddendorp@hillsboroschools.net. This website also has a "Weekly Attendance Check-in" that you may click on to report your attendance.
Weekly ZOOM Meeting:
Held every Thursday, 2:30-2:45 p.m. with Remote PreK Class!
We encourage you to have your child join the Zoom meeting each week, as this is their opportunity to have social engagement with other classmates and teachers.
