Introduction
Remote Learning means that the learner and instructor are separated and therefore can’t meet in a traditional classroom setting. In the event that our school is closed for multiple days, the district has provided resources and guidance to continue learning at home.
We hope that parents can partner with children to complete these activities. Some will include learning with devices and technology, while others do not; similar to the student experience during a typical school day. We recognize that these activities do not replace classroom instruction. No new content will be introduced and no assignments will be graded.
Although some of these resources are already regularly used in school, we hope that students have opportunities to try something new or show their learning in a new way.
