COVID-19 Monadnock Resources

The MC² Board of Trustees voted unanimously to begin the first trimester of the 2020-21 school year in remote learning, while simultaneously getting stakeholder feedback and engagement in planning for reopening. They specifically noted the importance of having learners engaged in establishing the safety guidelines for reopening, to increase their buy-in and engagement with those guidelines.

This website will become our home base for MC² remote learning.

It is divided into 3 sections:

Remote Instruction (academics, projects, and working with teachers)
Remote Support (food, technology, medical, and other resources)
Remote Personalization (additional ways to make it personal)

Remote Instruction

EODs = Attendance
+
On April 3 2020, the MC² Charter School Board of Trustees determined “End of Day reflections would qualify as attendance for each student. We do need to expand our parameters for the EOD’s so that a wider range of entry types would qualify, video, a photo of a note, etc. In cases where students have a problem accessing tech, they could call in to talk to an adviser and that would count as attendance.” This means each student will reflect on their day in order for that day to be counted as “present” in our attendance records. Students are encouraged to talk with their advisors about how they plan to complete their EOD reflections.

Changes to Summer Trimester

+
Additionally the MC² Board voted to launch the first trimester for the 2020-2021 school year fully remote.
Daily schedule starting July 27, 2020

+
We have created a new remote learning schedule to provide structure and support while also allowing necessary flexibility for each student. If you need time outside these hours, please talk to your advisor ASAP. Additional learning opportunities will be shared each week in a newsletter.
Using new technology and tools
+
- Most group meetings will be over Zoom, a platform available on phones, computers, and iPads. As we become familiar with this tool, feel free to use the many online resources for learning how to use it effectively.
- SSR is still a thing we’re doing each day for 20 minutes. You are welcome to read any books you may have on hand at home, or you can use the many online resources available. For example, Audible.com is opening its library to students for free during the pandemic. Newsela and Listenwise are also great reading resources available to all MC² students.
- Using Calendly for scheduling Office Hours with staff: to meet with a staff member individually, click on their link below and set up a meeting. You’ll be able to identify whether you prefer the meeting happens as a video, google hangout, phone call, etc.
