Good morning De La Salle Community
We realise this stay-at-home request has come once again with little warning. However, we are sure that you will be able to rise to the latest challenge. Below are expectations for students over the next week.
- You will be working online for the next week.
- Check your TEAM pages for each class or subject each day.
- Make contact with your teachers. This is the most important task.
- Quality over quantity – We expect students to have no more than four timetabled lessons a day. The expectation is that you will complete work for only Period 1 to 4 on your timetable.
- Make sure you have a place to work and login to lessons. We know that many of you have to work at different times and are on shared devices during the day. We will be asking you to check in with each of your teachers so we can mark attendance. This can be done in a variety of ways – a roll call in a Zoom meeting, a thumbs up in General chat or a submission of assignment in TEAMS. You will be expected to complete 15 – 20 minutes maximum for each lesson. You will be expected to check other forms of communication such as TEAMS and school emails.
- We recommend that you work in school hours. Making contact and returning messages to teachers is rewarding but can be time consuming and tiring.
- Take breaks. It is also important that you have time to help with your own families.
- We realise this stay-at-home request has come once again without warning and therefore you may not have essential equipment and books at home. However, students are not allowed to go to school. We are unable to distribute school laptops.
- If you don’t have access to a laptop all the time there are curriculum teaching and learning resources (with guidance for parents) can be found online here for English-medium and Home Learning TV can be accessed on demand here or via the TVNZ App on a device (mobile phone, smart tv or tablet)
- Your Homeroom Teacher will be making contact to check in during the week.
Your health, wellbeing and intellectual growth is, as ever, a priority.
