Wildwood school has compiled an incredible list of digital resources that can be accessed from home, and we have communicated directly to families, while also communicating any specific recommendations we have for each student.
The site is a dynamic website, full of resources, that is updated daily. Teachers and therapists are uploading specific resources for their classroom and students, and our teachers have started producing and uploading videos as well.
Each classroom team is developing a YouTube Channel with instructional videos for students to watch when they have time; each team is also doing structured Google Meets, at least once a week, with a structured activity; additional Google Meets to check in and engage socially with peers are also scheduled
Here is the weblink to our site in the event you would like to share it with other families or check it out yourself.
We also send out paper packets through the mail every two weeks for daily work, including hard copies of various activities that can be completed at home, for those families who indicated that they prefer to receive materials this way and for any family we haven’t heard back from about their preferences
Our students are at Wildwood for a reason, and require specialized instruction, as such - we have focused on mastered skills, and presenting materials in a familiar fashion (as close to their activities during the school day as possible).
We document all parent and student communication in the contact log on IEP Direct
Teachers interact with students and families, via Google Meets for instruction, class meetings, and regular check-ins.
A virtual IEP folder has been made accessible to all families, for their individual child's IEP goals, to work on at home.
Our teachers and social workers have been reaching out to families, multiple times a week, sharing sample schedules to follow at home, examples of activities that can be completed, and student specific recommendations.
