Student Tech HELP Desk

Dear Hawks,

The Muscogee County School District, in coordination with the Governor’s Office, has suspended regular school operations until April 6, 2020. Hardaway High School has made every effort to ensure that learning will continue without any downtime.

Our school community is fortunate to have access to one-to-one learning technology. Prior to dismissal Friday, student were instructed to take their Chromebooks home in the event of school closure. Teachers will work remotely to deliver instruction through Canvas over the next two weeks. Canvas is our digital learning information system.

• students are expected to log into Canvas daily and complete assigned tasks.
• teachers will assess students on their work.
• assignments will serve as skill builders or as a review.
• assignments will be posted by 9:00 am each day (M-F).
• daily lessons will not exceed 35 minutes per class. Expected work time is 3-4 hours per weekday.

I want to encourage you to look at this situation as an opportunity for growth. Most colleges and universities already deliver instruction remotely. They expect students to practice self-discipline and take responsibility for their own learning. This experience may go a long way in preparing our students for future success.

I am recommending that you schedule “Canvas Check-Ups” for your child each day so assignments don’t get away from them.

Report cards scheduled for delivery on March 19, 2020 will be postponed. Please check grades using the Parent Portal.

I will share more information as it becomes available.

Sincerely,

Matt Bell, Principal
