TERM 3 2020 UPDATES

TERM 3 UPDATE: Sunday 19th July, 2020.
Dear Parents,
This week our teachers have busily been preparing for the return to remote learning from Monday 20th July. We fully understand and are aware of the different challenges that all families are currently facing as result of the Covid and statewide restrictions. During the first part of Term 2, we were very proud with the level of support we provided each other through a very challenging period. As we begin Term 3, our priority is to ensure the same level of support.
The upcoming learning structures will be very similar to the first. Some key structures to be aware as parents and carers include:
* Our school’s home learning website will be used to house the learning content and relevant resources each week. This will be available on Sunday morning for the upcoming week.
* A daily timetable will be provided on the website that shows the learning expectations and success criteria for the task. There will also be work that needs to be submitted each week. This will be made clear on the weekly timetable and via the classroom teacher..
The daily learning expectations through the remote learning period will be:

Foundation-Grade 2
1. Literacy activities that take a total of 45-60 minutes
2. Numeracy activities that take a total of 30-45 minutes
3. Additional learning areas, play based learning and physical activity of about 30-45 minutes.

Grades 3-6
1. Literacy: 45-60 minutes
2. Numeracy: 30-45 minutes
3. Physical Activities: 30 minutes
4. Additional Curriculum Areas: 90 minutes

* Our Foundation-Grade 3 levels will use Webex Meetings and Class Dojo Portfolio to facilitate student learning.
* Our Grade 4-6 levels will be utilising Google Classrooms and Google Meet to facilitate student learning.
* In order to support the learning of our specialist areas across the school, Friday will be dedicated to completing the specialists’ work and engaging with different wellbeing tasks. We think it is important that during the week we are allocating some screen free time.
* Hard copy packs can be requested via a google form that will be posted on the School Story of class dojo each week. Requests for these packs will need to be made each week as a way to reduce unnecessary printing.
* Collection of these packs will occur on Monday between 9:30am and 11:00am or between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. If these times don’t suit, you can request for the school to contact you to arrange an alternative time.
We hope that the beginning of the remote learning period can be a positive one and just know that there are a range of ways we can provide direct support for you and your children during this time.
We've got this!



FRIDAY 10TH JULY, 2020
Dear Parents and Carers,
As you will be aware, in response to the increasing numbers of active Covid-19 cases in Victoria, the Premier Daniel Andrews has implemented changes which will have a direct impact on all of us in the metropolitan area of Melbourne. Specifically for schools this means that:
1. There will be five pupil-free days from Monday 13 to Friday 17 July for all students except for the
following:
 Students enrolled in Years 11 and 12
 Students in Year 10 enrolled in a VCE study, for VCE lessons
 Students enrolled in specialist schools
These students will all attend on-site from Monday 13 July.
2. Teachers and staff not involved in on-site teaching from Monday 13 to Friday 17 July will attend
on site to:
 prepare for a possible move to remote and flexible learning from Monday 20 July;
 provide a program of care and supervision for those students whose parents/carers cannot work from home and for vulnerable students. A sign up form will be distributed shortly for parents/students who fit this criteria. (Please also note that next week Camp Australia will be providing its regular service before and after school).
I know that many of you will have questions. Further information is expected from the Department of Education and Training and I will provide you with as much detail as possible as it comes to hand.
Whilst this is not what we were hoping for, the safety and wellbeing of everyone is our main concern. We are also in the position of having many of the structures and processes in place from Term 2 that we will re-establish; this prior knowledge and expertise will assist us as we move forward. We are committed to providing your children with the best possible learning opportunities during these very uncertain times.
We look forward to your continuing support over the next weeks,

Kind regards
Denise Webster
Principal- Langwarrin Park Primary School
