This will be a different model for distance learning for elementary and middle school students than what was utilized during the 2020-21 school year and be similar to the model utilized during 2020-21 for high school students.

Elementary students will be enrolled in Math, Science, Social Studies, English, Art, Technology and Physical Education/Health.
Middle School students will be enrolled in Math, Science, Social Studies, English and one elective course.
Once the student successfully completes the elective course, they will be enrolled in a new NDCDE elective course.
