We need to trust the research & replace long, synchronous classroom calls with a more developmentally appropriate, research-based approach to remote learning: asynchronous, project-based instruction. forbes.com/sites/zakringelst…

Tip for keeping your children safe during back-to-school: Practice becomes a habit Don’t wait for re-entering school to teach them essential skills. While home, have them wash their hands when they touch their face, sneeze, or cough. Help make fun reminders or visual cues.

Today, I met my daughter’s tchr during tech pick up. I told her she was doing a great job. I couldn’t see most of her face bc of her mask, but her sigh was audible & I saw her shoulders relax as she thanked me. Tchrs are working so hard! Remember to thank them. #telltheteacher

Is there a better time to revisit (or discover for the first time) the Harry Potter books than during #BackToHogwarts? Watch as friends of the Wizarding World read the first book for #HarryPotterAtHome wizarding.world/6016GUuXg
Fewer contextual clues and limited body language can make communicating in a virtual environment more difficult than in-person. Help your child/students practice different ways to ask for help using this list from @biglifejournal @RCSVirtual #BackToSchool #backtoschool2020
How do you encourage your child to raise their hand when they need something? You can help your child learn how to ask by modeling it yourself. Here are some phrases you can use at home.

In life we tend to move fast but when we take time to slow down we can see what’s truly important to us.

To get a feel for the energy and passion poured into @RCSVirtual, be sure to watch the town hall meeting for secondary students, which can be found here: youtu.be/K4Nmhb7ogGU. Principal Jeff Frankowiak and Assistant Principal Bryan Lindstrom will put you at ease.

Only 7 minutes in to learning about the #positivityproject and I’m sold. #RCSPride @rochcommschools I feel like I should #hashtag @RobinCottone instead of tag her! @PosProject @rochcommschools
