Virtual Learning Day – March 3, 2026
Winter conditions struck again, and the untimeliness of this latest wintry mix certainly kept us on our toes this morning. We did our best to get students to school, but the unpredictability of the weather led to more last-minute adjustments than usual. We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we navigate these changes to keep our students safe while ensuring learning continues as smoothly as possible.
Today will be a Virtual Learning Day for all students from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Our goal is to make the day productive, flexible, and supportive for every student while keeping learning on track from home.
What to Expect Today
All assignments, directions, and learning objectives are posted in Schoology/SKYWARD by the start of the school day.
Each teacher has explained how students will be marked present, such as submitting an assignment, completing a quiz, or responding to a discussion post.
Due dates and times are listed in Schoology so families can easily see what’s expected.
Teachers will be available throughout the day (9–2) to answer questions through Schoology messages or district email.
For Elementary Families K-2
Students using packets will find clear labels with subjects, dates, and a daily checklist.
A cover letter explains what to complete each day, how long each task should take, and how to return finished work.
Teachers will stay in touch with families using Skyward notifications or emails to share updates, encouragement, and reminders.
Some classes may also post short videos or fun digital activities to help students stay engaged and connected.
Communication and Support
Please reach out to your child’s teacher and/or principal during school hours if you have any questions or encounter challenges with assignments or technology.
All building principals and school counselors are also available by email throughout the day to offer support and guidance. Don’t hesitate to contact them if you need assistance or have concerns.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our school district and students. Stay warm and have a wonderful day of learning!
John A. Haas, Assistant Superintendent
