Remote Snow Day Materials
Message from Principal Burnell
Winter has finally arrived here in southern Maine! We will transition to a remote snow day format moving forward whenever it is reasonable to do so. In the event we receive additional weather that would normally cancel school we will instead attend class remotely. Students will meet with their teachers by Zoom and be assigned work to complete remotely. Moving to this model will provide us with a predictable end date for the 2023-2024 school year.
Thank you for making remote snow days possible for our students. Transitioning to this model will allow us to avoid further disruptions to the school calendar and will provide us with a predictable end date for the school year.
Sincerely,
Kyle Burnell
Principal
Remote Snow Days: What to Expect
WES will use this site to post all links, learning materials, and Zoom invitations for remote snow days.
Students will attend a morning meeting and lesson, complete independent work, and have the option to connect with their teacher during "office hours" in the afternoon.
Teachers will be available by email until 2pm to answer questions by email.
Teachers will upload materials prior to the start of the school day (9am).
Students will click on their grade level on this page to access the appropriate links and learning materials for the day.
Core Extension activities will be available. However, when we return to school in person, we will not miss an in person Core class (Example: If a remote snow day falls on Day 2 we will hold Day 2 Core classes when we return in person. Students have the option of picking any Core extension activities they wish during a remote snow day).
Remote Snow Day Expectations
Attend class remotely following the schedule below.
Set up a learning space outside of the student's bedroom.
Enter Zoom meetings with the student's name visible and camera turned on. Only students with their own name visible will be allowed to enter the Zoom meeting.
Follow all classroom and WES expectations while on Zoom.
