Whitin Intermediate School Student Norms for Virtual Learning Sessions
Now that we have had a chance to welcome back all of our students, we wanted to reach out to share with everyone what the on-line learning expectations are for our students:
- Set up your learning space in a distraction free location.
- You should only be using your school issued computer while doing your school work.
- Put your school issued computer in one location. Do not move it during the online session.
- Stay seated during the session, unless an emergency occurs.
- Turn your microphone on and off as instructed by the teacher. Start all classes with your microphone
off until the teacher tells you elsewise.
- Don’t try to do other things while on line, stay focused on the work being presented.
- Address the teacher and other virtual school students in a respectful manner, even when disagreeing
with what is being said.
- Mute the microphone while you are not speaking.
- Use the chat feature to only talk about the topic being covered.
- Try not to speak over one another; use the “raise your hand function” to get the teachers attention.
- Please try to have your video on whenever possible in each on-line lesson.
- Remember that all Whitin school rules are in effect, even if you are learning from home.
- Please dress for your on-line learning classes just like you would if you were going to be in your classroom

Drop-Off and Pick Ups:
Starting this school year, we will be having the students going directly to their homeroom each morning, rather than to the cafe or gym, like in the past..
Students are being asked to enter and exit the school using the following doors:
Grade 4 will enter through Door #3 which is near the end of the building and go up the
staircase
Grade 5 will enter through Door #4 which is the entrance near the map
Grade 6 will enter through Door #2 or the main entrance
Grade 7 will enter through Door #12 which is off of the back parking lot.
For the safety of all:
-please try to drop your children off on the school-side of Granite Street.
-all students should get out of the cars on the sidewalk side only at all times
Main Office Assistance:
A sliding window has been installed directly to the right of the front door which will allow for you to speak to the staff in the main office without coming into the building. All transactions will be done through the window. Please do not ring the bell in the front foyer.
Lunchtime:
A reminder that Whitin Intermediate School is completely nut free.
Parents for a Safe Graduation (PSG)
A few reminders:
Students should be checking their Google Classroom as well as their school email frequently. In addition, students should be charging their Chromebooks each night.
Sincerely,
