Grades 5 – 8 (Middle School) Snow Day Guidance
2020-21 School Year
-
Prior to this school year, if school was canceled due to snow, our district made up any missed days during our scheduled two-week spring break. Now that we are a district that provides students with devices, we are planning to count all snow days as instructional days per Indiana Department of Education e-Learning guidelines.
-
Parents will receive notification if NAFCS will need to cancel traditional school and shift to eLearning due to inclement weather.
-
Teachers will be working from home on these days and a modified virtual learning day will be implemented. (see modified schedule below)
-
Teachers will make every effort to assign learning opportunities that are within the context of the natural scope and sequence of their curriculum. In most cases, this will mean that the day’s planned lesson (asynchronous) will be converted to a digital format for student completion.
-
Rule of Thumb
-
To complete one period/block of course work (task, video, reading, chat room, etc.) could take up to 30 minutes for a student to complete.
-
Most students should be able to complete all work and tasks assigned independently requiring little additional guidance from adults or teachers.
-
Teachers will check-in at the beginning of each period/block to answer questions about posted assignments and provide tutorial sessions upon request.
-
Students will be provided (3) three school days to complete all eLearning Day assignments and tasks upon return to school. Students without access to their email/phone or device may turn in their completed work for evidence of attendance.
