A message from Mrs. Basignani:
Good evening, Mariner family!
This week, we will continue to use the Baltimore County Public Schools Continuity of Learning Plan. The Continuity of Learning Plan, provides grade-specific information and expectations. Student expectations are shared below, and a sample schedule is available on page 17 of the plan. Our teachers are working hard to regularly update their Schoology course with new learning each week. I encourage you, as the parent or guardian, to set aside time each Sunday to review the new content and plan for the week. Setting a daily schedule, as shared in the plan, will help to create structure and build confidence for students in these uncertain times. Students are encouraged to participate in instruction using the online resources available in Schoology, whenever possible. Paper packets do not need to be completed if students are completing the work online.
You can access the Continuity of Learning Plan and our staff office hours and class meeting schedule under the Remote Learning Resources tab. Finally, I would like to wish a very Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our fabulous Mariner staff! Our staff works tirelessly to ensure the best possible educational experience for our students, whether in person or in a remote learning environment. We are truly grateful for their dedication and commitment to our school family!
As always, I thank you for your flexibility and understanding in these unprecedented times. If I can help in any way, please feel free to reach out to me at jbasignani@bcps.org.
Wishing you and your family well!
Jamie Basignani
Principal
