Remote Learning Program GROWING BRIGHT MINDS

Shrewsbury Montessori School is proud to present our Remote Learning Program which includes individual and group learning opportunities prioritizing:

COMMUNICATION, COMMUNITY & CONNECTION.

This program was immediately developed in response to the state closure of school on March 16, 2020. Valuable feedback was provided by families and faculty through surveys at the end of the school year and the program was subsequently updated to better meet the needs of our community.

The goals of the program are to:

  • Supplement our curriculum with activities and lessons that can be completed in a home-based setting.
  • Provide flexible learning opportunities that balance online and offline time as well as synchronous and asynchronous learning.
  • Promote 21st Century skills including flexibility, technology literacy, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
  • Support students and families through a time of uncertainty with self-guided activities that encourage independence.

All students will participate in the Remote Learning Program with the following guidelines:

  • All online meetings/conferences/teaching will fall within the following time periods Monday through Friday: 8:30-11:30am and 1:00-3:00pm.
  • We encourage all students and teachers to go offline between 11:30am-1:00pm in order to enjoy lunch, spend time outdoors, and take a break from technology.
  • Students are expected to participate in any online meetings with their teachers. Attendance will be documented in order to ensure continuity of learning.
  • Online meetings between teachers and students will not be recorded.
  • Students are required to adhere to policies outlined in our Parent Student Handbook, including: General Conduct, Dress Code, and Technology Acceptable Use Policy, as well as Zoom Etiquette protocol.
  • While Shrewsbury Montessori School discourages excessive screen time for our students, we realize that the circumstances of an extended school closure require our students to access technology.
