Dear Grade 7 & 8 Students,

Welcome to Distance Education 2022. We pray that together we may get through this time, relying upon God’s grace and providence. If you find you are struggling with the instructions, material or length of time spent on schoolwork, please contact us to see about alternative arrangements or accommodations. We are here to help!

You will find the daily lessons posted at https://grade78.dacslaurel.ca/home .

We will be available to answer questions between 9 am and 2:30 pm. If you have questions, please refresh the website first before calling or emailing.

*Since both Grade 7 &8 are busy working with fractions, Mrs. deJonge will be helping with the daily Grade 7 math lessons. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, Grade 7 should contact Mrs. deJonge for help or clarification (Textbook work) and submit their math work to Mrs. deJonge in google classroom. On Wednesdays they will be completing review/worksheets that should be submitted (via email) to Mrs. Kamphuis. This will be clarified each day on the website.

Twice each week you will be expected to drop into a zoom meeting (once with Mrs. deJonge and once with Mrs. Hulst) between 11:00am and 12:00pm. The schedule for this will be posted on the website. You may join this meeting any day if you need help with something. You may also“drop-in” for math questions from 9:30-10:15 each day.

We (Mrs. deJonge and Mrs. Hulst) each have our own google classroom where work will be collected and reviewed/marked. You will also receive a Parent Envelope with Tests. Your parents should give you these tests only on the day it is assigned.

We look forward to taking on this new challenge with you in these upcoming weeks, and we pray for God’s blessing as you manage your work at home.

Mrs deJonge and Mrs Hulst
