Procedure for Flexible Learning Days

  • Teachers will design flexible learning day assignments with realistic expectations, timelines and consideration regarding students’ workload.

  • Middle/High School teachers will provide a timely course plan, posting work for the day in Google Classroom by 10:00 am on the day school is closed.

Attendance

Attendance

Attendance must be taken by the teacher and records of attendance must be kept for each class/class period. If a student does not complete the e-Learning task(s) before the fifth class period following the e-Learning day, that student will be counted absent. “Students who do not participate in planned activities are considered absent for those class(es) and should be reported as absent as if they were not present for an on-campus class.” (Plaman, Minnesota Department of Education 20 July 2017)


Attendance

Students in Daycare

Adrian Public Schools acknowledges that it should not be the responsibility of daycare providers to teach concepts or complete assignments. Parents/guardians with students who will be in daycare on flexible learning days are encouraged to ask students to attempt to complete tasks independently and offer support at home. Students may also bring any assignment they are struggling with to school the next day for support from his/her teacher.
