Distance Learning at Hilltop
Attendance Reminders:
•Attendance will be taken based upon work completion and daily interactions with Hilltop teachers.
•While we encourage students to participate in the Zoom/Google Meets sessions to ask questions, receive feedback, interact with their peers, etc. the students are expected to complete assigned work in order to demonstrate they were present in school.
•Assigned school work must be completed by 11:59 PM each day, unless other expectations have been communicated by the teacher.
•It is the responsibility of the family to notify the Hilltop office of extenuating circumstances that would prevent the student from engaging in Distance Learning.
•If your child has missing work during the Distance Learning period, we encourage them to complete their assignments, projects, quizzes, tests, etc. as soon as possible.
Schedule:
•Families should plan for their students to be engaged in Distance Learning activities for approximately 90 minutes per day.
*Similar to a normal school day, and depending on the child’s individual needs, the Hilltop staff will also provide additional time (above and beyond the 90 minutes) for students needing extra support to meet grade level standards. This does include special education, ELL, Title I, and counseling services. Those teachers have been reaching out to families on an individual basis to schedule services.
•Distance Learning activities throughout the day may include, but are not limited to: Participating in live, virtual lessons/meetings with their teacher, completing projects, engaging in technology-based programs (e.g. IXL, Moby Max), watching pre-recorded videos of their teacher or other experts, completing an assignment/test online, etc.
•Please note that although there are large blocks of academic time indicated on the schedule below, the purpose of communicating this schedule to families is so that parents and guardians are aware of the approximate times throughout the day that your student may be asked to engage in a live, virtual lesson or help session. Your child’s teacher(s) will be communicating specific information regarding their daily/weekly schedule.
