Temporary Distance Learning
For the health and safety of all students, staff and families, as a district we are going Distance Learning Temporarily starting Monday, November 23 through Wednesday, December 9th. During this period, November 23-24 will be Teacher Planning days with November 25th being the first day of instruction. This is not the same emergency distance learning you experienced in the spring. Our teaching staff has been improving upon the distance learning.
Here's what your students and families can expect:
-
Consistent schedule with virtual and offline learning; live and self-paced
-
Consistent learning platform via school-issued iPads and Chromebooks

What does Temporary Distance Learning Mean?
All students will learn from home five days per week following a consistent schedule. Students learning time during this distance learning period will include both live and self-paced learning.
Live Instruction
​
Live, virtual classes with teachers. This is sometimes referred to as synchronous learning.
Self-Paced Learning
​
Students work on their own time and learn through recorded lessons and teacher-directed assignments, using online or offline materials. This is sometimes referred to as asynchronous learning.
