Distance Learning Model (Only if required): Distance learning adjusted from the Spring model based on parent and teacher feedback. Grading and accountability for learning for all students. Attendance will be taken - new policy is under development. Teachers instruct from their classrooms if safety allows. Follow the district’s teaching and learning model & teach the standards. Provide paper packets and resource delivery for the elementary level if needed. Assess student learning in cohorts of children in schools if safety allows.
