Virtual Learning Transition
|
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students of Roots,
After much thought, and deliberation on how to keep our Roots Community as safe and healthy as possible with the rising COVID numbers, while still providing a quality education to all of our students, the Roots Charter High School Board and Roots Administration had an emergency board meeting and have decided to transition to Virtual Learning starting Monday, November 23rd through Friday, December 18th (the end of 2nd Term) Virtual Learning Transition Many things have led us to this decision, such as, a rise in COVID positive cases amongst our students/staff, as well as many students/staff who are being quarantined due to being exposed to others who have COVID in their households, and the high percentages of absences that are making it hard to maintain classes to progress without leaving half of the student body behind. With the trajectory of the numbers continuing at this pace we would have to do an emergency shut down right after Thanksgiving. Our hopes are that if we go into this transition before we reach our numbers that we can keep more of our students/staff healthy and safe, and also have a smoother more prepared transition for our student body to remain on track academically. Information Needed We want to take this week and send students home with adequate tools/supplies/and food to get them through this virtual learning period, and to be able to deliver a quality education for them as well. Please fill out this form (1 per family) so we can make sure and get your student(s) everything they need to get through the next few weeks of Virtual Learning.

Estimados padres/Guardián y estudiantes de Roots,
Después de mucho pensar y deliberar sobre cómo mantener nuestra Comunidad Roots lo más segura y saludable posible con el aumento de los números de COVID, al mismo tiempo que brindamos una educación de calidad a todos nuestros estudiantes. La Junta de la Escuela Secundaria Roots Charter y la Administración de Roots tuvieron una junta de emergencia y han decidido hacer la transición al aprendizaje virtual a partir del lunes 23 de noviembre al viernes 18 de diciembre (al final del segundo trimestre). Transición de aprendizaje virtual Muchas cosas nos han llevado a esta decisión, como un aumento en los casos positivos de COVID entre nuestros estudiantes / personal, así como muchos estudiantes / personal que están en cuarentena debido a la exposición a otras personas que tienen COVID en sus hogares, y altos porcentajes de ausencias que dificultan que las clases progresen sin dejar atrás a la mitad del alumnado. Con la trayectoria de los números continuando a este ritmo, tendríamos que hacer un cierre de emergencia justo después del Día de Acción de Gracias. Nuestra esperanza es que si entramos en esta transición antes de alcanzar nuestros números, podamos mantener a más estudiantes / personal sanos y seguros, y también tener una transición más suave y preparada para que nuestro cuerpo estudiantil se mantenga en el camino académico. Información Necesaria Queremos aprovechar esta semana y enviar a los estudiantes a casa con las herramientas, y los alimentos adecuados para que pasen por este período de aprendizaje virtual y para poder brindarles una educación de calidad también. Por favor, complete este formulario (1 por familia) para que podamos asegurarnos de que sus estudiantes tengan todo lo que necesitan para pasar las próximas semanas de aprendizaje virtual. Cronología de Transicion
Clases Virtuales Todas las clases de los estudiantes seguirán siendo las mismas. Los materiales se enviarán a casa con los estudiantes para algunas de las clases especializadas. Los maestros publicarán un video instructivo y una nueva tarea cada día (A o B) a través de sus portales de Canvas. Los estudiantes enviarán todas las tareas y proyectos a través de Canvas. Si necesita acceso a Internet y necesita un Chromebook, asegúrese de completar el formulario. Los maestros estarán disponibles por teléfono, correo electrónico o Zoom entre las 8 am y las 4 pm de lunes a viernes (consulte las extensiones adjuntas / lista de correo electrónico) Los maestros también tendrán un zoom en vivo abierto de 12 a 4 pm de lunes a viernes para obtener ayuda. (Los enlaces de Zoom se publicarán en la página principal del sitio web: https://www.rootshigh.org Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre Canvas o inicie sesión en Canvas, consulte los folletos adjuntos o envíe un correo electrónico a llittle@rootshigh.org o llámela al 3857152591 ext102 Esperamos que todos tengan una temporada navideña segura y saludable. Comuníquese con cualquier pregunta, inquietud o necesidad. 243! -Roots Admin |

AUTHENTIC LEARNINGWhat makes Roots High School unique is the hands-on, authentic and relevant learning experience offered at Roots. Studies suggest that student often leave school because they feel the learning is irrelevant to their lives.

WELCOME TO ROOTS HIGH SCHOOL
A farm in the city is an ideal context for studying connections. A farm demonstrates the most basic relationship humans have to the land. Students experience the cycles of nature and discover the rewards of hard work and collaboration. They care for plants and animals that, in turn, provide their nourishment. They are involved in matters of life, birth, and death. They are responsible for the well- being of fellow creatures and develop motivation and responsibility through this relationship.
