Distance Learning at Sion
As schools across the world are faced with the challenges of being thrust into virtual learning due to Covid19, Notre Dame de Sion Grade School is focused on fulfilling its mission of academic excellence and leveraging distance learning as an opportunity for increased personalization and plenty of fun along the way!
Personalized:
Our distance learning approach includes a variety of teaching models and techniques. From “live” Zoom classes, to video lessons students can watch at a time that works for their family, and online personalized learning tools, we are working to ensure each child is engaged and challenged in their new “home school” environment. With a continued focus on educating the whole child, all students continue to receive weekly lessons from their “Specials” teachers, including STEAM, Art, Music, Library, PE, and Foreign Language.
Community Care:
Knowing that these are uncertain times and you can quickly feel disconnected, we know it’s more important than ever to balance the social-emotional needs of our students and families. Sion is built on a foundation of strong relationships among members of our community. We are expanding structures for our students and faculty to connect with one another.
From daily homeroom check-ins to weekly wellness checks, to streamed Chapel services, and service projects, connectivity at Sion is at the heart of all we do!
Fun:
Our Fun Committee, composed of some of the most creative and dedicated teachers, has been hard at work ensuring fun is a key ingredient of Sion’s distance learning program! From virtual Show & Tell, to Spirit Week, Bring your Animal to Class Day, and Costume Day our students are definitely making the most of this venture into virtual learning!

Notre Dame de Sion is an independent, Catholic school welcoming families of all faiths from across the metro. We are fortunate to have already had a 1:1 technology program in place and that our families have reliable access to the internet and food security. We applaud the efforts of all schools across our Kansas City community and if any of our resources can be helpful you can contact us directly at SionCommunications@ndsion.edu.
