COVID-19 eLearning Days Guidance

eLearning activities will be offered during COVID-19 shutdown days. Activities are not required or counted as grades or attendance, but are encouraged for students to continue their engagement in learning during this unprecedented shutdown of public school.

Spring Break will continue as planned. Spring Break is considered a break from school and will not have expectations for teacher work or student work.

The shutdown days are considered "Act of God" days and will not be made up at the end of the school year.

Students' attendance will not be calculated during COVID-19 eLearning days as instructional days, attendance information is encouraged to collect for local improvement data.

Teachers will post contact information and eLearning activities to encourage students and parents to continue engaging in learning during this time. Teachers will periodically update activities as applicable and notify parents and students of updates. Teachers are not expected to host required virtual office hours during the course of the COVID-19 eLearning day, but may choose to do so at their discretion. Digital office hours can be conducted via email, Google Chat, Google Classroom, or Unified Classroom but not via social media. Classroom teachers and special education teachers will work together to ensure that work is appropriate and accommodations are made for students with special needs.
