We want to inform you about our Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) plan for virtual learning days, as we currently have only two snow days remaining. In the event of inclement weather requiring additional school closures, virtual learning days will allow us to continue meaningful instruction and maintain academic progress.

Schedule Outline for Virtual Learning Days

9:30–10:00 AM: Morning Check-In

• Guaranteed synchronous time for all students
• Includes class meetings, updates, check-ins, and live instruction

10:00 AM–12:00 PM: Learning Block

• A combination of synchronous and asynchronous instruction
• Focus on ELA and Math instruction
  • Whole group, small group, or individual synchronous instruction tailored to student needs
  • Asynchronous learning activities provided by teachers
• Specials (e.g., Block/Library) may be scheduled during this time
• Teachers will share specific schedules with families whenever possible

12:00–1:00 PM: Lunch Break

1:00–3:00 PM: Asynchronous Learning Time

• Independent learning tasks and activities from a learning menu

We encourage families to help their students create a quiet, focused learning environment during these virtual days. Teachers will provide resources and guidance to ensure students stay engaged and on track.

Thank you for your continued support in making these virtual learning days a success. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or the school office.
