Instructional Supports for Students in Quarantine

Thu, 09/02/2021 - 3:30pm

While a student is in quarantine, there are several opportunities for them to remain engaged in learning and receive supports. Though COVID-related absences are considered excused absences, it is important that students take advantage of these opportunities so they are able to return from quarantine and easily transition back into in-person instruction.

The following instructional resources are available for students to remain academically engaged during quarantine:

Elementary School Students

  • All students in prekindergarten through grade 5 have been/will be provided a packet of grade level instructional materials that cover all content areas including related arts. (Students in the PreK program are to receive their instructional packets on September 2, 2021, and students in grades kindergarten through 5 on or before September 10, 2021.) The packets are only to be used in the event a student needs to quarantine. These packets also will be available via Canvas. The tasks that students complete from the packet will not be used as an assessment or counted toward any part of the students’ report card grade.
  • Students may also access instructional materials via their teacher’s Canvas page. If a student does not possess a device, one will be assigned by the school.
  • Students may participate in two weekly virtual check-ins with their teacher(s) to ask questions or receive help with reading/language arts and mathematics asynchronous assignments. Scheduling instructions will be provided by the school.
  • Beginning in mid-September, students will have access to virtual tutoring services via the Evening School program.
