Please read all the information below to get the latest scoop on our daily activities and lessons!
If you have not had a chance to register your child for my classroom, please use the following link to meet with me on a daily basis: https://discord.gg/cByfWxr.
Students will only need to be logged into our Discord classroom during these times:
Math - 9:00 - 9:20
Language - 12:00 - 1:00 (we may not be chatting during the entire period, so you can log on only when you have a question)
UOI - 2:15 - 3:00 (we may not be chatting during the entire period, so you can log on only when you have a question)
Here is the schedule for the day:
Students are expected to think of our discord classroom the same way they would about our regular classroom. It is not set up to be a chatroom, but I do encourage students to use it to work together and ask each other question when doing daily activities. Students are expected to be logged out of our discord classroom by 3:00 pm everyday (dismissal), but if you need me I will be available on Discord until 5:00 pm for any extra questions that you might have. After 5 pm I will be logged out of our discord classroom, but I will check my email periodically until 6:30 pm for any urgent questions.
We will have more access to one another, but it is important that we all take a break from our devices to spend time on our hobbies, or time with our family members. COVID-19 has caused a great deal of uncertainty for us, and may continue to do so, but a positive that we can take from this is more time spent with the ones that we love!

Bonjour mes amis!
Aujourd’hui c’est mardi, le 24 mars 2020
I want to congratulate all students who joined me on Discord yesterday. It is a real challenge to understand a message and follow instructions in a foreign language without including the body language; we ended up translating here and there to make sure that we followed the designated time but overall, everyone was engaged and the online learning really proved our challenges.
Homework will be uploaded on Discord; you could write your answers directly and send it to my account sjimenez@stjudesacademy.com.
Stay safe! 🌈"S'EN SORTIR, SANS SORTIR"🌈
