On September 21, 2020, the Board of Education viewed a presentation and discussed next steps with District Administration.
District 45 will begin the 2020/2021 school year with Full-Remote Learning for all students. Full-Remote Learning will provide both synchronous (learning that occurs when there is a scheduled time for the teacher and students to meet virtually and instruction is delivered in real time) and asynchronous (learning that occurs when students are working independently at their own pace and time. Learning takes place by accessing information virtually but does not require live or simultaneous interaction with a teacher or class) learning opportunities for students with a strong emphasis on synchronous learning.
We understand the many challenges Full-Remote Learning may present for families. For families who do not think their schedule will align with synchronous learning, a self-paced remote learning option will be available. If you would like to learn about this option please send an email to remotelearning@d45.org.
WHEN WILL PARENTS RECEIVE UPDATES?
We are constantly monitoring the situation. The District will discuss next steps at the October 5 Board of Education meeting. If or when we move to in-person learning, we will allow for a transition period so that parents and staff can prepare for the next learning model.
Ultimately, our primary goal is to return to in-person instruction when conditions allow, and unfortunately, we are unable to provide a precise date as to when that will occur. The extent to which we are able to implement our original plan will be evaluated over time.
