A FID (Flexible Instruction Day) or Virtual Learning Day is defined by the PA Department of Education as "a program available to public school entities to be used as an alternative approach to delivering instruction if a circumstance arises that prevents instruction in the customary manner." This also includes inclement weather or virtual snow days.

At Danville Middle school, the majority of instruction provided during a Virtual Learning Day will be provided through the use of the student-issued Chromebooks. If a student cannot utilize a Chromebook or cannot access reliable internet service, assignments will need to be made up for the student to receive credit.

The school district will communicate to the best of its ability before a virtual day. Students should be best prepared by bringing their Chromebook home each evening.

The daily schedule will resemble the child's regular school day schedule. Generally, 7th and 8th-grade students log onto their Google Meet around 8:05 for Block One and 6th-grade students log into their Google Meet around 8:25 for Special One.

We understand that not all students will have reliable internet service throughout the Virtual Learning Day, and some students don't have a Chromebook for various reasons. In such cases, the work completed during a Virtual Learning Day may be provided in another manner to students. For grading and attendance purposes, all assigned work must be completed and turned in within 24 hours of the assigned date.
