All eLearning days, regardless of scheduled or weather-related, will include synchronous instruction equal to at least 50% of the daily instructional minutes. Teachers will deliver the virtual instruction synchronously on an eLearning day. Synchronous instruction/learning occurs when classes run in real-time, with students and instructors attending together virtually from different locations. This means that teachers and students are gathering at the same time and interacting in “real-time.”

eLearning start time in all buildings is 9:00am. Each building will post their individual building schedules to students with the time starting at 9:00am. K-5 students will be expected to participate in daily live learning sessions.

Parents must call in to report absences the same as if the student was attending school in person. Absences should be called in or emailed to the school office by 9:00 a.m. each school day. Attendance will be recorded daily.
