At their meeting on October 19, the School Board heard a presentation from administration regarding the options available to teachers when working with students who are out of school for extended periods of time. This presentation included the handout, linked below, that summarizes the ways in which teachers present learning material to students at various grade levels. We are posting it today in order to give parents a clearer picture of what is expected and available relative to learning beyond the school buildings. As was pointed out during the presentation, it is important that parents contact teachers or building administrators if they either require assistance in accessing learning material, or if for some reason their student has not been receiving that instructional material.
