Remote Learning Resources

The State Department of Education has issued planning documents for school districts related to learning this fall; see below.

Schools are expected to plan for three options--school in session, distance learning, and a hybrid that could include up to 50% of students at a given time being in the buildings while the remaining students are distance learning. All Minnesota schools are expected to be ready to switch between these three options at any time during the school year depending on local and state conditions.  

In addition to this, the district will also "offer distance learning to enrolled students who may be medically vulnerable or otherwise unwilling to return to in-person or hybrid learning."

Because of our work over this spring, we are confident in our preparation so far for the fall.  We will continue to develop and refine our plans, communicate with parents, discuss at board meetings, and monitor additional guidance from the State that will be issued no later than the week of July 27th.

We appreciate the feedback that you have given to us and want to make certain that you have opportunities to provide more input. Could you help us with your feedback in one or both of the following ways?

1. Click here to Complete an Online Survey for Parents, Students, and Staff Members
2. Register here for a Parent Listening Session

This feedback helps us as we make plans for this fall and how to best support our students. We know this has been a difficult time for many of our families. Together, we can determine how to best serve all individuals.
