The Lowdown on the One Hour of Asynchronous Monday Learning

John Burkholder, Your Principal


For parents, I want to let you know the expectations for student learning during the one-hour of asynchronous learning that your child is to do each Monday after school through the end of the year (May 29 being the exception as it is a holiday). Recall that this asynchronous learning time has been added to make up for time lost due to snow days this year. Your child will continue to receive an email from me each Monday before they get home from school for the day. The email, which is basically the same each time, outlines the options students have to complete this one hour of asynchronous learning. Below are the options that are shared with students. Students can focus on one option, or mix and match to get to the one-hour expectation:


Achieve 3000: Students can login to their Achieve 3000 account and find an article that they are interested in and see what they can learn. The article needs to be a 5-Step article with questions.


Actively Learn: Some students use a program called Actively Learn. If this is your child, they can choose an article and work through it, including the embedded writing part.


PowerUp: Some students use this program. Students can take this opportunity to login to this program and complete the next assignment in the sequence of learning to continue their growth in literacy.


iReady: Students can also login to their iReady account and complete their next math assignment in their sequence.


Advanced Learning Extensions: Students can find Advanced Learning Extensions in the Advanced Learning Google Classrooms. The codes for the classrooms are shared with students in the weekly email to them.
