When is it appropriate for my child to participate in Distance Learning
Students who are out sick or being monitored for covid symptoms may participate in Distance Learning, if they are able.
Students are not allowed to participate in Distance Learning at random. This is carefully followed and documented and can be cause for an attendance investigation.
If your child needs to be home for illness, try to email the office staff and the classroom teacher so we can mark your child, “virtually present” and make sure they can access the classroom.
Students who are on vacation or visiting family are considered an unexcused absence and will make up work on their return, this is district policy.
Official Changes to Your Child’s Learning Model:
If a change is requested to move from distance learning to in-person, please note that it may take up to two weeks for the plan to be implemented, as schedules, seating arrangements, and teacher assignments may need adjusting.
Please note that if your child is remaining home due to COVID Symptoms or is quarantined, you do not need to complete the Learning Model Change Request. The school nurse or secretary will work with you on using the Distance Learning options during that time.
Lunch Orders:
Please be sure to check with your child, when we verify at school, children are changing their orders.
Please be sure to order by 7:45 AM, we check in the morning and if you request late in the day, your child may not get lunch. Thank you.
Have a great week!
