Expanded In Person Learning
As I'm sure that you are all now aware, our district is ready to begin the next stage of our re-opening plan.
Currently listed in your child's Parent Portal is the following message:
Learning Model Selection Form in Genesis - Due: Tuesday, February 16
Any subsequent change to the learning model selected below must be requested through completion of the Request to Change Learning Model form available on the district website. Please note that students are limited to one change request per marking period, which must be submitted at least 10 calendar days before the student is eligible for in-person services. If a learning model is not selected for your child by Feb. 16, 2021, they will default to in-person learning.
Choice 1: Full in-person learning four shortened days a week. This will entail in-person instruction for four days per week and one day of virtual learning. This choice reflects a commitment through the end of the school year that can only be changed by request, as noted above.
Choice 2: Remote learning model. This includes utilizing our Google platform for live instruction, video instruction and interactive online tools five days per week from home. This choice reflects a commitment through the end of the school year that can only be changed by request, as noted above.
Please discuss these options and make the best decision for your children and family. If your child or family is dealing with a underlying health concern, you may want to remain virtual. The last thing that we want is for people to get sick.
However, we have been working and providing a safe atmosphere for all of our students and staff members. Our protocols allow for sanitizing throughout the day and maintaining an appropriate social distance. All are required to wear masks throughout the day.
A large part of a child's education occurs through the social and emotional interactions that occur inside of the building. This is very difficult to fully emulate through virtual learning. The face to face interaction between fellow students as well as their teacher is paramount.
Additionally, some of our students may have realized that taking tests is much easier at home than in school with their teachers. As our students prepare for the world beyond our walls, please consider the fact that bosses, college professors, and placement tests will not alter their expectations. They will expect the same level of competency as they have in the past. Preparation and content mastery are vital components of future success.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
