INSTRUCTIONAL CONTINUITY PLAN & ONGOING SUPPORT
On rare occasions it may be necessary to close a school(s) due to weather or other emergency situations. If this occurs, the district will make every effort to ensure that our students' education continues while at home. The district has compiled a comprehensive collection of online content and digital resources. The teachers and the students are well versed in accessing online instructional tools. In order to ensure instructional continuity in the event of school closure, the district will provide mobile devices for students’ at-home use in order to continue learning without interruption.
The Instructional Continuity Plan (ICP) outlined below addresses access to technology, curriculum content and delivery, ongoing support services, and other resources for successful online learning. The ICP is a fluid plan that will be adapted in response to the needs of our students, faculty, staff, and families.
Ongoing communication is a key component for effective implementation. We encourage students and families to frequent the ICP site for updates.
