E-LEARNING DAY FOR ALL D5 STUDENTS ~ FRIDAY, OCT. 11
District 5 previously announced that Friday, October 11, 2024, will be used as a hazardous weather makeup day due to the school closure on August 8, 2024. Please be advised that Friday, October 11, 2024, will be an e-learning day for all students in School District Five. All teachers and staff should report to school as normal.
Teachers will post assignments to Google Classroom by 10:00 a.m. for asynchronous learning. If a teacher does not utilize Google Classroom, they will notify parents and students of how this information will be shared. Asynchronous learning involves students completing assignments independently at their own pace throughout the day. Teachers will continue to support students during asynchronous learning by providing feedback, responding to questions, and reviewing assignments when in-person learning resumes. All students will have up to five (5) school days to complete assignments.
All after school childcare programs are canceled on Friday, October 11, 2024. However, other after school activities and athletic events will continue as scheduled.
CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS!
