[quote=Anonymous]DCPS, upper elementary. We are in week 5. We have printed packets to pick up from school every two weeks. If parents prefer, they can also access the materials online and print them out. The packets have day by day info (i.e. this page is Week 4, Day 3) so that you know what activities to do when. Packets also have specials activities -- for PE, we watched a 20 minute youtube yoga video, and for art this week, my kid made something with natural objects in the yard.

There's a schedule to sign up for check-ins with teachers (via Teams). Some are individual and some are groups. There's also optional additional online activities for ELA and math.

No synchronous lessons where you tune in and watch the teacher at a given time.

And as far as I can tell, no grading or review of this work.

So far so good. For us. But some things that make it easier for us -- 2 FT working parents and one child who is motivated to do schoolwork, grateful that as yet we have not seen a financial hit in our household, we have technology at home, we had the funds to supplement so we had the tech tools my kid needs. Of all of these, the thing that has made it the most stress free is simply my kid's personality -- he'll sit down each morning and get his schoolwork done while I'm on conference calls or working.
