BTWLC Remote Learning Plans
SCORE Program Students -
If the school is closed and the district announces "remote learning," students must log in to their Edgenuity or iReady/IXL account and complete at least 30 minutes of work per class, as well as one assigned SEL lesson. Students in NCSpark can also access and work on their assignments from home. The online programs will track the time students spend actively completing work and will record "idle time" if no assignments are being done. To receive credit for the day and earn their daily points, students must meet these minimum requirements.
Teachers will hold "Remote Office Hours" from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. They will provide students with a Zoom link via email, which can be used to connect with teachers for assistance during these times.
The Edgenuity Learning Platform can be accessed on computers or smartphones (LINK). Students are familiar with this platform and know their login credentials.
In the event of extenuating circumstances (ie: power outages), here are some assignments students can complete and turn in upon return to school:
All English/ELA - Students should keep a daily journal about their day and what they may be feeling. They will need to write in complete sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation. New paragraphs should be started for new topics (about 6 - 10 sentences/paragraph.) This will be submitted to Ms. Powell.
Biology - A review packet was sent home for students to complete. This will be submitted to Ms. Dolschanko.
Other Sciences - Complete any supplemental work that was sent home. If no materials were sent home, Students should go outside or look out the window and try to identify and draw the clouds they see. On the same sheet of paper, record the weather for the day. Include high/low temperature, humidity, dewpoint, wind speed, and any precipitation (snow or ice). Follow the writing standards as listed for English/ELA. This will be submitted to Ms. Dolschanko.
All Math - Develop 6 questions based upon the concepts you are currently learning in class and solve the problems. This will be submitted to Ms. Chestnut.
All History - Students can write a journal entry from the perspective of a historical figure they’ve learned about, imagining what a day in their life might have been like. They can include details about the time period, challenges faced, and significant events. This will be submitted to Mr. Rice.
SEL - Students can write out a "Restorative Circle Script" on this topic: "Think about a time when you faced a challenge. How did you handle it, and what did you learn about yourself?" This will be submitted to Ms. Doss.
Day Treatment Program Students -
If the school is closed and the district announces "remote learning," QPs will hold "Remote Office Hours" from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. They will provide students with a Google Meets link, which can be used to connect with QPs for assistance during these times. Parents can also contact QPs via Class DoJo.
Day Treatment students utilize digital learning platforms on a regular basis at school and are familiar with logging into the platforms they use. The Edgenuity Learning Platform (Middle School/High School) can be accessed on computers or smartphones (LINK). The iReady Platform (Elementary/Middle School) can be accessed on computers or tablets (LINK). Students are familiar with these platforms and know their login credentials.

The SEL packet can also be accessed here (LINK) and can be completed on notebook paper if printing is not an option. The online programs will track the time students spend actively completing work and will record "idle time" if no assignments are being done. Paper packets must be returned on the next school day.
