4-2-2020 School Closure Update

Posted by Alan Boucher on 4/2/2020

Today was the last day for instruction under our E-Learning Plan. Tomorrow, we will start instruction using the Remote Learning Plan. The plan will be posted to the district website. For most students, there will be little change. Here are a few highlights of the new plan.

First, schools are now mandated to give instruction to the students and to monitor completion of the assignments. Students will now be given grades of Pass or Incomplete. Students who get an incomplete will be able to turn-in their work to receive a passing grade. There are some complexities with the junior high and high school grades, so make sure you read the Remote Learning Plan to learn more about that. The Pre-k through 2nd grade students are doing a lot of their school work through paper packets. Instead of turning in the completed papers to the teacher, try using an electronic format. For example, you could take a picture of the completed work or send an email.

All 3rd through 12th grade students should have a Chromebook in their possession at home. If your family does not have an internet device available for school work, find a way to send an email to contactus@sherrard.us . We will loan Chromebooks until we run out.
