Welcome to ELA class!

I am currently teaching multiple levels and grades of English Language Arts.

If you are looking for Miss Zippo & Mrs. Jeffery's Inclusion class, please refer to Miss Zippo's website.  If you are Looking for Mrs. Jeffery's period 4/6 ELA, you are in the correct spot.

For Mrs. Jeffery's pd. 4/6 class- Hamilton Township School District is moving to Remote Learning beginning 3/16/20.  All daily assignments will be posted on Google Classroom and sent through Remind.   I will put daily assignments on Google Classroom the night before or the morning of.  I will also send out a REMIND of the daily assignment for anyone who does not have internet access.  If you have any questions about the assignment, you can contact me through e-mail (Students may only e-mail from their school e-mail.) or REMIND.  All daily assignments will be checked and graded. 

WHAT IS REMOTE LEARNING?
This occurs when the learner and instructor, or source of information, are separated by time and distance and therefore cannot meet in a traditional classroom setting. Learning will be done at home through online instruction. 

WHY IMPLEMENT REMOTE LEARNING?
Remote learning is implemented, so that education can continue without having to add on days at the end of the year AND/OR take away vacation days. This DOES count toward the 180 days that the state requires all students to be in school. 

AS A STUDENT, WHAT ARE MY RESPONSIBILITIES?
-log onto Google Classroom every single weekday (Monday-Friday)
-you will work NO LONGER than 40 minutes per class (no more than 4 hours a day)

-I will be available for questions/support through email and/or directly messaging me on Google Classroom
-reminds will be sent out each day as well (please join the app if you have not already - this is another form of communication - 

AS A PARENT, WHAT ARE MY RESPONSIBILITIES?
