Student and Parent Expectations
• Teachers will work with families to set up a consistent schedule for instruction. It is
important, once a schedule is set up that works for both your family and the teacher,
that students regularly attend meetings with their Summer 2020 Boost teacher.
• The general framework recommends students will be engaged in learning for
approximately 2 to 3 hours per day. This will include time spent daily one-on-one with
the teacher, in small groups, and in whole group.
• Students will also have independent work provided by the teacher when not in direct
contact with the teacher. For example, students will complete i-Ready during this
independent work time.
• Stay connected to the Summer Boost teacher and advocate for your child’s needs.
• Reading at home:
• Students are expected to read every day.
• Encouragement and rewards for summer reading will be supported by the
Suncoast Summer Reading Challenge. Teachers will provide information about
how to participate.Resources
