Elementary School message for those classrooms that did not send home devices: Families will receive a direct message today because a few classrooms did not send home devices on Friday because of MAP testing and other individual classroom needs. Each classroom or school that is affected will send a direct communication by the principal or classroom teacher. Please make sure to read these communications. Middle School + High School: Students must log into InfoSystem to confirm their attendance. Attendance will be processed at the end of the day. Students that DO NOT log into the Infosystem will be marked absent. Teachers can also request changes based on student participation. Students and families should check email and Canvas for instruction updates from their school. For more information, please visit our E-Learning webpage. Project SCOPE will be open for currently enrolled SCOPE students from 7:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. at four combined locations.

As always, be safe and happy learning. We appreciate your patience as we navigate through an e-learning day.

District staff, families and students, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your resilience and patience in navigating e-learning. Special kudos to our students for consistently logging in, following directions for attendance, and diligently completing assignments. Many of you have already turned your sights to tomorrow. We know that clear weather advice can be elusive and unpredictable. At this time, we plan to be in session. However, please make sure to have a plan in place for both in-school and e-learning. If, for any reason, an extra day is needed, we will make the call by 6 a.m. tomorrow based on updates from First Student Bus Service. As of now, the forecast predicts temperatures above freezing, with a gradual warm-up throughout the day. Your understanding during these weather-related decisions is truly valued. Thanks for your continued patience as we navigate through the winter weather updates and make the best decisions for everyone involved. #connect186 #sps186 #weare186
