Remote Learning 2.0�Guidebook
for Families
Dear East Prairie families,
This guidebook is intended to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the Remote Learning 2.0 program at EPS. We are keenly aware of the many challenges and longer-term impact and implications of this time away from in-person schooling for children and families. This guidebook serves as a broad overview of our work together to devise innovative solutions to support the growth and development of each child within our new context.
“Engaging with exceptionally hard problems forces us to think differently.”
- Ed Catmull
It is with this understanding that we approach our planning and preparation efforts each and every day. It is the same mindset that lifts us as we undertake the challenging and complex work of providing impactful educational opportunities to all of our students amidst an ongoing global pandemic. As a school and community, we believe that through challenge, tremendous opportunity exists. At East Prairie, we are committed to this time being a moment of transformative change. Our plans seek to build upon the very best of our practices, while developing new structures, strategies, and supports for the areas we can and must do better. Our team is committed to serving your children, your family, and our community to the very best of our ability. We are
confident in the strength and possibility of our partnership.
In partnership,
The East Prairie Team

Reflections on the Spring
While filled with incredible hardship, this past spring also brought out the very best of our East Prairie community. As a school community, we united together to ensure that each child was safe, cared for, and continued to learn under new, ever-evolving, and challenging circumstances. When the pandemic struck, we pulled together in unconventional and even more inventive ways. We worked together to ensure that every child and every family had the essential materials and resources needed to support themselves. Technology, food, and financial resources were shared, all while we collaboratively developed a new model of education for our students. While the manner in which our students learn changed in an instant, the tighter connection of home and school enabled us to accomplish significant social, emotional, and academic outcomes for our children. We gathered, learned, laughed, cried, problem-solved, struggled, celebrated, and persevered together! These sustained, collective efforts spoke to the qualities ingrained in our East Prairie community that make our school truly one of a kind. This was no small accomplishment. It is something we must all recognize and continue to celebrate.
We are also keenly aware that our plans did not fully meet the needs of all students and families equally. With time to look back, listen, and reflect upon the experience, we see the need to ensure additional resources, supports, and opportunities for all learners, while expanding the amount of face-to-face instructional time for students. While we strove to communicate regularly and provide meaningful feedback to students, we know that we can improve in helping our students and their families understand where they are at in their learning, sharing specific improvements necessary to continue growing. We appreciate the extensive feedback shared with us from students, families, and staff to make sure our current
iteration of remote learning plans are as impactful as possible. This guidebook is the embodiment of that
feedback, intentional reflection, and a desire to continue developing innovative schooling practices.
1
Our intention is to learn, grow, reflect, revise, and improve the Remote Learning 2.0 model day-by-day and week-by-week until we are fully back to in-person instruction. Please use this form to share your feedback, suggestions, and ideas for how we can improve this model to ensure we are meeting the needs of children, families, and community to the fullest extent possible.
While remote learning is different than our typical school day and cannot replace the in person interactions that are essential to human learning, we are confident that it will continue to support student learning, while fostering new levels of collaboration and ingenuity. We undertake this work together and as a team!

Remote Learning 2.0 Schedule
3
The Remote Learning 2.0 schedule is intended to create a more consistent instructional routine for children, families, and teachers. As outlined on the pages that follow, a child’s day is broken into specific content areas - science, literacy, math, etc. Instruction during these blocks will consist of: pre-recorded direct instruction, time with a teacher, time with peers, and independent work time. The following pages outline a more detailed description of our instructional framework and goals.
Increased face-to-face time
One of the most widespread pieces of feedback we gathered from students, families, and teachers was the desire to have more direct face-to-face contact time. As such, the Remote Learning 2.0 model was designed to not only have more face-to-face time, but to ensure that time was meaningful and of the highest instructional quality. Students will spend at least 3 hours every day with their EPS teachers and classmates. We view
this time as critical for developing strong and caring relationships, as well as,
for delivering a robust and rigorous curriculum.

Communication & Teacher Accessibility
In the remote environment a teacher’s day is made up of several elements: direct contact time with students (whole class, small group, and 1-on-1), planning and preparation, designing learning lessons and activities, collaborating with colleagues, providing feedback to students, and communicating with families; in addition to many other daily tasks, meetings, and school-based expectations.
Teachers will be communicating weekly with ALL families. Families can expect to be communicated with each week through a mode of communication that best meets their needs (video conferencing, phone calls, email, etc.). The focus of these check-ins is to: ensure wellbeing, provide specific feedback on your child’s learning, to talk through any questions/concerns, and to continue to develop strong and positive partnership between the home and school.
In addition to this weekly communication, our EPS staff is available through email and phone. You can expect a timely response from 8:30AM-3:30PM. Messages outside of these hours will be responded to within 24 hours. Please note, like you, that our team is balancing professional with personal responsibilities towards their families and loved ones.
Most importantly, please remember GRACE, FLEXIBILITY, AND ADAPTABILITY are essential to our partnership and work together.
14
Attendance
Daily attendance will be taken in Powerschool by teachers during face-to-face instructional blocks. Should your child be sick or otherwise unable to participate in their daily learning please reach out to your child’s teacher(s), as well as, our school office at 847-673-1141.

Workflow
Our aim in Remote Learning 2.0 is to provide each child with a uniquely personalized pathway to learning. This occurs through pre-recorded lessons, live instruction, small groups, collaboration with peers, individualized work, and ongoing feedback from and contact with teachers. We know that each family’s home situation, and ability to fully support remote learning, is different, and truly desire a collaborative partner to ensure we are meeting the needs of your child and family.
That being said, please let us know about your child’s workflow and progress. Lessons, assignments, and activities will take each child a different amount of time. Our goal is to ensure a robust, but not overbearing academic experience. The feedback of your child and family is essential to making sure we are striking the right balance. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure the very best
educational experiences for your child!
18
Screen Time
Ensuring a balance of technology usage and screen time is always important, especially in a pandemic. Remote Learning 2.0 strives to strike the very delicate balance of ensuring adequate time and support for students through leveraging technology and face-to-face communication, while also being mindful of the developmental readiness and appropriateness of this at each grade level. Our team strives to create learning opportunities that meaningfully utilize technology, while also not overly relying on it. We want to partner with each family to ensure we strike this balance in a meaningful and appropriate way.
NPR’s Life Kit series provides a tremendous resource for families on this matter. This podcast focuses on our relationships with screens, getting insight and advice from doctors and experts in the field. Common Sense Media is another fantastic resource helping families to navigate the ever changing world of technology and media. Supporting children (and adults) in the meaningful and appropriate use of technology is the work of our entire community, truly requiring the commitment and collaboration of home and school working together.

Tech Overview
During remote learning students should use their district-issued Chromebook to log-in and access their assignments for the day.
Should you need an additional device please reach out to info@eps73.net to coordinate pick-up.
20
Technical Support
Technical support will be available from our Tech Team via email at help@d73.on.spiceworks.com. Please send an email to our team describing the issue that is occuring. A member of our Tech Team will reach out to provide as much assistance as possible. Please note that support may be limited as these issues might be resulting from your own network, device, or internet connection. Our goal is to serve you as best we can.
21
Web Filtering
Student safety is our utmost priority. Accordingly, district-issued Chromebooks are equipped with new software to safeguard them on external networks. This new software is called Bark, and allows the district to help filter unapproved and unsafe websites as well as report on profanity, violence and cyberbullying that may be present within the school Google environment.
22
Internet Options
Here is some additional information for families looking for alternative internet services:
- Spectrum Communication - high speed internet, affordable pricing.
- Xfinity Wifi public hotspots all open. Until further notice, all Xfinity WiFi Public Hotspots are now open to everyone on the “xfinitywifi” SSID. Public hotspots can be found in small/medium businesses and outdoors in commercial areas. Non-Xfinity subscribers need to accept Terms and Conditions to access the network and repeat when requested to continue to receive free unlimited access. Please refer to the map below for available public hotspots. This is a good option for those that live next to neighbors that might have Comcast as a service.
- Comcast expands access and speed of internet.
- RCN will offer free internet and WiFi for 60 days to all qualifying low-income households, especially students in low income households who do not already subscribe to their internet service and who enroll in the Internet First program.

Routines & Schedules
With all that is going in the world today, changes in routine for children can be stressful. Talk to your kids about why they are staying home and what their daily structure will be during remote learning time. Let them help create a daily schedule that can hang on the refrigerator, where they sit and do their work, or somewhere they can see it each day.

Social-Emotional Learning
Beginning last year, our staff will be utilizing RULER from the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence as a curriculum to support the social and emotional growth of your child. RULER is an evidence-based approach that helps schools include emotional intelligence into everyday practice. RULER is grounded in the philosophy that emotions drive learning, decision-making, creativity, relationships, and health. It seeks to empower children, teachers, families, and stakeholders within a school community with the skills and strategies to create and sustain a positive emotional climate, as well as, develop individual emotional skills. Here are the key emotional skills of RULER:�
Recognizing emotions in oneself and others (body language, voice, behavior)
Understanding the causes and consequences of emotions
Labeling emotions with accurate words from a nuanced vocabulary�Expressing emotions differently depending on context and culture�Regulating emotions with effective strategies and supporting others in their regulation of emotions
The RULER approach is grounded in four core anchor tools: the charter, mood meter,
meta moment, and blueprint. The first three tools have been introduced to
students and integrated into practice throughout the year.

Social-Emotional Learning
social-emotional skills and strategies to our middle school students.
53
Mindfulness
Simply stated, the purpose of “mindfulness” is to acknowledge what is going on and be aware of it. We teach, and seek to live these practices ourselves, to gain a greater sense of control over thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as, teach our brains new and better ways of thinking and functioning (Silver & Stafford, 2017; Wolkin, 2015).
54
Get Moving, Get Fit, Get Active!
Play and brain breaks are essential for both kids and adults. Play reduces stress, develops cognitive skills, and beyond all of that is just plain old fun! Taking breaks throughout the day can help students to boost their cognitive functioning, develop social skills, increase productivity, and decrease stress. Several well planned, high energy, breaks are healthy and beneficial for the entire family!
55
Supporting Early Readers
Supporting reading at home doesn’t have to be stressful. Though not every child has a passion for reading, there are tools and tricks adults in the house can use to support their learner during this remote learning time. The key with a reluctant reader (or ANY reader) is to keep it positive, rather than making it a chore.
Primary (Grades PK-2)
Our youngest learners need as much exposure to, and interaction with, text as possible.

Supporting Intermediate Readers
Supporting reading at home doesn’t have to be stressful. Though not every child has a passion for reading, there are tools and tricks adults in the house can use to support their learner during this remote learning time. The key with a reluctant reader (or ANY reader) is to keep it positive, rather than making it a chore.
Intermediate (Grades 3-5)
Readers this age might need to set a scheduled time for free reading.

Turning Point services is offering services below at this time.
All of which are free of cost.
The Living Room
Crisis support for adults led by Recovery Support Specialists who have lived experience with mental illness. The Living Room at Turning Point has re-opened remotely during this time period. With the extension of Governor’s orders and people’s need for being able to have some peer support, we have decided to offer phone and video conference support to our guests. For those wondering what this will look like, from 3-8pm a clinician will answer calls to 847-933-9202. Once assessed and determined to be appropriate for The Living Room, a guest will be given the option to talk by phone or by video conference (Zoom) with a RSS and the RSS will reach out within 30 minutes to discuss the crisis, not unlike a visit into The Living Room. Should we receive multiple calls, our clinicians will respond in the order received based on voicemails left with callback numbers. After 7:15pm, guests may be contacted back the following day of operation at 3pm.
24/7 crisis phone line
Crisis support to anyone of any age led by a team of therapists 847-933-0051 follow the prompts to speak with a crisis worker. This is an alternative option during Living Room hours, especially if someone needs assistance with getting to the emergency room during this time. Typically, the Living Room is an in person support. Now that we are offering this support virtually, it differs from our crisis phone line in that it is led by Recovery Support Specialists, only serves adults, and allows the option to communicate via video.
Call 4 Calm text line
We are proud to be a partner of the Illinois Call4Calm text line service. Text “Talk” to 552020 (or “Hablar” for Spanish). This is not a crisis hotline, but is a source of support for anyone experiencing stress and in need of a listening ear. A Turning Point therapist
will call the person to talk on the phone within 24 hours. Call4Calm is a statewide mental health support during the
pandemic, and Turning Point responds to support calls for people residing in Niles Township (SKOKIE IS INCLUDED).
