AACPS has decided that Thursday, January 29th and Friday, January 30th will engage in real-time virtual instruction day. Students need to access their classes by way of Google Meet links that every teacher has posted in Canvas. From that Google Meet link, students will receive live instruction from our teachers and will be able to submit assignments by way of Canvas.
We are here to help you!
● We will follow an A Day schedule with live (synchronous) instruction.
● Students would log into Canvas to access their assignments, schedules, and Google Meet links and would be expected to attend live classes and engage throughout the day. Here is a Virtual Learning
Resource for Families that includes the schedule and technology information. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GR5JgeVcSYADIEzYuQcJf0sSK2dI1lxN/view?usp=drivesdk
● If you have concerns about individual classes, or assignments - please reach out to your child’s teacher.
● If you are unsure of how to access Canvas, please contact your student’s school counselor. Information
for how to contact them is linked here.
● For other general concerns, email Ms. Lacy McKinney at [email protected], or Ms. Arianna
Ramirez-Torres at [email protected]
● Go to www.aacps.org/stayconnected to access that information, including rescheduled dates for postponed events.
The schedule for virtual instruction is below.
AACPS ha decidido que mañana jueves 29 de enero y el viernes, 30 de enero, serán días de enseñanza virtual.
Los estudiantes deben acceder a sus clases a través de los enlaces de Google Meet que cada profesor ha
publicado en Canvas. Desde ese enlace de Google Meet, los estudiantes recibirán clases en directo de
nuestros profesores y podrán enviar sus tareas a través de Canvas.
¡Estamos aquí para ayudarte!
● Seguiremos un horario de un día con clases en directo (sincrónicas).
● Los estudiantes deben iniciar sesión en Canvas para acceder a sus tareas, horarios y enlaces de Google
Meet, y se espera que asistan a las clases en vivo y participen durante todo el día. Aquí hay un recurso
de aprendizaje virtual para familias que incluye el horario y la información tecnológica. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GR5JgeVcSYADIEzYuQcJf0sSK2dI1lxN/view?usp=drivesdk
● Si tiene alguna inquietud sobre clases individuales o tareas, comuníquese con el maestro de su hijo.
● Si no está seguro de cómo acceder a Canvas, comuníquese con el consejero escolar de su estudiante. La
información para ponerse en contacto con ellos se encuentra en este enlace.
● Para otras inquietudes generales, envíe un correo electrónico a la Sra. Jeanet Osorio a
[email protected] o a la Sra. Arianna Ramírez-Torres a [email protected]
