Under Illinois Public Act 101-0012, the Illinois School Board of Education (ISBE) opened the door for all school districts to use technology initiatives for teaching and learning outside the traditional classroom. This new initiative is to be used in lieu of traditional snow days. It is an innovative, engaging instructional model to keep the sequence of learning going in spite of weather and other challenges. More importantly, it has provided teachers and students the opportunity to engage with digital resources, to collaborate virtually, and to develop digital skills that are used and valued beyond K-12.
Our e-Learning Days are purposely set up to provide flexibility for both students and staff. Parents will not be expected to assume the role of the teacher. Our program ensures that teachers will be available to assist students with their assignments from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. The assignments for e-Learning are designed to be engaging and sometimes fun and will allow students to learn while enjoying being at home during a "snow day". Teachers will monitor their email at various times during the day. The administrators and the technology staff will be available from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on any e-Learning Day.
