Distance Learning FAQ

Here are some of our Frequently Asked Questions regarding CKS Distance Learning.

What if my child needs something from the school to complete their work?
May 6, 13, and 22 (10 am-12 pm) have been designated as drive-thru pick-up days for any academic material needed from school. There will be a bin labeled by homeroom in the front of the school. Please email Mrs. Franks or Mrs. Edwards to pick up items.

 

Do teachers have virtual office hours?
Teachers are available via email for questions and clarification at the following times: Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. AND 1-3 p.m.

 

Privacy settings have been put in place on Zoom accounts and teachers and administrators host each Zoom call to manage participants.  In addition, each Zoom meeting is set up using password-protected links. At least two teachers manage each Zoom call to ensure safety and appropriate interaction. 

 

No – Zoom is an important way to give students time to interact with their teachers and classmates but we understand that each family’s situation is different during this time.  If your child cannot attend a Zoom class, please contact the teacher directly with questions during their office hours.

 

Please email the teacher directly and they can re-send the link. 

 

We understand that parents may be working in or out of the home and trying to supervise their children. We also recognize that many of our families have multiple children trying to participate in distance learning at this time.  The learning schedule and Zoom class times have been set up as a guide to ensure flexibility.
