With the winter season here and poor weather possible, a reminder that if the decision is made to close school due to inclement weather, that information will be posted on the SDOW website and social media pages, as well as sent out to parents and staff through a call blast.
Due to our current 2022-23 calendar, we will be utilizing E-Learning and E-Learning PLUS for inclement weather days past Days 1-6 that are currently accounted for in our District calendar.
In order to support continued learning for students, teachers, and families during inclement weather days, if we are out of school for more than six days, teachers will need to connect with students to keep them instructionally on track for learning progression and grade-level advancement.
All E-Learning and E-Learning PLUS days should be thought of in terms of educational advancement and not “busy” work for students; however, the connection with students will look different based on the information below:
*E-Learning (Days 7-10): All teachers will provide work to students via Google Classroom. All teachers will also provide a two-hour “office time” Zoom link for students to connect with them from 9-11 a.m. if they have questions or need assistance. This is not a specific instruction time. The remainder of the day will be spent on collaboration and future instructional planning.
*E-Learning PLUS (Days 11 and Beyond): All teachers will run a full virtual schedule with their students. Every teacher will connect with students and continue instruction during the student's regularly scheduled day. If students are to have a special class on this day, they will attend virtually with the teacher. Lunch, recess, and passing times will remain as virtual breaks for the day.
