Due to continued hazardous road conditions, we will transition to a Remote Learning Day on Tuesday, January 27. This means all schools and facilities will be closed for students and staff. Students should work on their remote learning assignments. No athletics or afterschool activities. Remote Learning Days are flexible school days where students work at their own pace on posted assignments, also known as asynchronous work. While there are no required live classes, teachers are available during optional office hours if students have questions. Students are expected to complete all activities and reach out to their teachers if they need assistance. Work is due within five days of returning to school.

Los días de aprendizaje a distancia son días escolares flexibles en los que los estudiantes trabajan a su propio ritmo en las tareas asignadas, lo que se conoce como trabajo asincrónico. Si bien no hay clases presenciales obligatorias, los profesores están disponibles durante el horario de consulta opcional para responder las preguntas de los estudiantes. Se espera que los estudiantes completen todas las actividades y se comuniquen con sus profesores si necesitan ayuda. Las tareas deben entregarse dentro de los cinco días posteriores al regreso a clases presenciales. Consulte o descargue nuestra Guía de aprendizaje a distancia aquí: https://5il.co/3tij1

We are closely monitoring the incoming winter weather. Students are bringing learning packets home today for potential remote instruction. If power outages occur, we may move to a full closure instead. Safety is our priority! Watch for updates via call, text, email, social media, and posted on our website.

Estamos monitoreando de cerca las condiciones meteorológicas invernales. Hoy los estudiantes llevarán a casa material de estudio para una posible instrucción a distancia.

📢 Remote Learning Packets Coming Home Thursday

Hi families!
We are sending home remote learning packets on Thursday in case winter weather causes school closures.

⭐ Please DO NOT complete the packet unless the district officially calls for a remote learning day.
⭐ The packet has 5 days of work, but students only complete the day assigned by their teacher.
⭐ Students must return the assigned work to be counted present.
⭐ Teachers will hold 90 minutes of virtual office hours during any remote learning day.

If a remote day is announced, we will send the office hour link and instructions through Class Dojo and email.

Thank you for your support! Stay warm and safe, Blue Jays! 💙💛
