Emergency Remote Learning Plan
Availability of Devices: 1:1 Devices will be used to access district-provided collaboration software applications, where assignments will be administered and monitored by teachers. The primary mode of instructional delivery will be synchronously through ZOOM and asynchronously through Google Classroom for grades K-12. Software will be used by teachers throughout the district for remote learning and blended/hybrid models, with time spent in different remote modalities to be determined based upon student needs and expected duration of remote instruction. The district currently supports a 1:1 laptop program in Grades 3 -12, and devices in classrooms can be distributed to students K-2, so students can utilize their assigned laptops for remote instruction.
Internet Access: Buildings will work with families who do not have access to the internet for remote learning. District tech support will work with building principals to connect with families and needs will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, we will work with local agencies to provide hot spots to families who do not have accessibility at home. Students will be able to access the internet through the guest Wi-Fi network while on campus. Faculty and Staff will collaborate with families when digital technology is not appropriate for students to create and provide hard copies of instructional materials and resources to support student success with instruction at home as needed and/or appropriate.
Provision of Special Education and Related Services for Students with Disabilities: When possible and appropriate, students with disabilities in special programs or classes, for both school-age and preschool students, will be prioritized for in-person learning activities. When unable to be in-person, specially designed instruction, as well as related services, will be delivered via remote learning through video conferencing via Zoom. Special educators and related service providers will collaborate with families to deliver appropriate services. If remote learning is prolonged, the Committee on Special Education (CSE) or Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) may need to convene to determine the appropriate service delivery model. Additionally, after in-person learning is resumed, the CSE or CPSE may convene to determine if compensatory services are required to ensure educational benefit.
Hours: The district will meet or exceed all minimum requirements for instructional hours provided in a school year, whether instruction is in-person or remote. This includes a minimum of 900 hours in grades K-6 and 990 hours of instruction in grades 7-12.
