JMS E-learning is moving to LIVE STREAM
What are the benefits of moving to a live stream format now? With live streaming...
-
Remote students get the experience of being with their peers for a more realistic classroom experience.
-
Remote learners receive instruction 5 days per week.
-
Remote learners follow the same curriculum as in-person peers.
-
Each remote student will be required to be visibly present (with camera on) in each of his/her classes from 8:15 am - 12:32 pm each day. A consistent school day for all remote students should have significant academic impact.
-
The school day is identical for both in-person and remote learners with real time broadcasts from the classroom; live streaming replaces afternoon Google Meets.
-
Students may seek additional support from teachers during the afternoon (either at designated times or via email/Google Classroom).
-
Quarantined students can be expected to transition seamlessly to remote learning & back to school with the identical class schedule.
-
Any student at home with a temporary issue will be able to keep up with the regular schedule of classes.
-
The transition to a full remote instructional model (if needed) will be much easier for students, parents, and teachers.

Please look for additional communications from your child's teachers regarding a move to live streaming. As a reminder, Illinois is a two party consent state, which means any recording of a live stream is prohibited by law.
Thank you in advance for your support during this transition! Please contact me at JMS with any questions you may have.
