WJMS Remote Schedule

Students will be counted present and on-time if they log into their teacher's Google Meet within the first five minutes when their class is scheduled to begin. Students must have their camera on, be visible, and engage/interact with the teacher to be counted present.

If your student or household is having internet or other technology issues that prevents them from turning on their camera, an adult family member should call the attendance line at 303-982-3051 or email Julie.Barrett@jeffco.k12.co.us.

Teachers' office hours on Silver block days from 1:20 - 2:20 pm are for communication with students and families. This time can also be used for students or families to schedule a quick online meeting or phone call to speak directly with the teacher.

WJMS Hybrid Schedule

★ Lunch A 11:00 - 11:30; Class 11:35 - 1:15
★ Lunch B Class 11:00 - 11:55; Lunch 12:00 - 12:30; Class 12:30 - 1:15
★ Lunch C Class 11:00 - 12:40; Lunch 12:45 - 1:15

Our lunch times during hybrid learning are based on class, not grade level, and occur during third period (on Blue days) and sixth period (on Silver days). Remote students are not expected to be in class during the times their classmates attending in-person are at lunch. Teachers take their lunch breaks at the same time that their classes are at lunch.

Students should pre-order breakfast and/or a lunch for days they want to receive those meals at school. Please do not order lunches any earlier than the Saturday prior to the week you are ordering for; for example, you would not want to order school meals for the week of January 25 before Saturday, January 23.

Students may bring their own snacks and lunch. They must be kept in the student's small backpack or drawstring bag until snack or lunch time. No microwaves are available to heat up food.

Remote Learning Day - Friday

The purpose of this day is to offer more individualized support and extended learning for students. Students will be required to login all of their Google Classrooms on Friday and there will be an assignment, learning task, or learning check for them to submit.

The scheduled times for each class period may be used in different ways and that will be communicated to the students by the teacher. For example:

• A virtual class discussion summarizing learning from the week.
• Assigned small group instruction.
• Individualized support for students or individualized extension of learning.
• Feedback conferences with the teacher.
• Assigned intervention time for students who are not meeting standard, missing assignments, or not participating in class.

Some teachers require all students to attend their class Google Meet on Fridays for a short period of time. Some teachers post the learning task or quiz in their Google Classroom and then just meet with a small group of students for learning support.

Students should login to all their Google Classrooms on Friday during the specified times to check what their assignment is for the day. Students will be counted present if they complete the learning task/assignment posted on their Google Classroom by 2:00 pm on Friday.
