Special Education
Each child’s case manager will be in contact with the parents of students on their caseload with special education instruction focused on meeting IEP goals or IFSP outcomes.
Technology Support
Students in 5-12th grade have their district issued iPads at home. We have wifi access available outside each building.
Students and Families Experiencing Homelessness of Housing Transition
Our district has identified students currently experiencing homelessness and will continue to monitor any circumstances that may cause new students or families to be identified.
Mental Health Supports for Students, Families, and Staff
Each school has established a Communication Plan and a Student Intervention Plan. Concerns generated from these contacts will be forwarded to school social workers.
Meeting the Needs of our Staff
The district continues to provide key communication to staff through district email from Superintendent Jones and building principals.
Assess and Adjust: Monitoring the Distance Learning Plan
This plan, and the results of it–including impacts on student access, ability to accurately measure student learning, and reasonableness of expectations for students, families, and staff, to name a few–will be monitored at least weekly.
Frequent communication with students, families, and staff will solicit feedback from all stakeholders.
Student learning data (gathered from a variety of assessment methods–informal, formative, traditional, project-based, etc.)will be reviewed at the student-level, grade-or-content-level and site-level to assess impact of the DLP on desired student outcomes.
