It appears that winter weather may be making another appearance in the near future. As such, students were sent home today with learning tools that would be used for synchronous elearning. Synchronous elearning is different from our other elearning days. On a synchronous elearning day, students have specific times they need to be logged onto their devices to interact with teachers and other students. Please see the attached sheets that detail the times to be logged in and the process for connecting to the Google Classroom. These attachments are also viewable in the Live Feed of our webpage at www.swparke.k12.in.us. If your student will be absent from the synchronous elearning period due to illness or appointments, please contact the school as you usually would for an absence. The learning tools sent home today should be used if a synchronous elearning day is called. If no synchronous elearning day is called, the tools should be returned to school fully charged for use.
