The safety and well-being of students, families, and staff is our top priority as an educational community.
We are focused not only on the physical health, safety, and nutrition of our students, families and staff, but also on their social-emotional and mental health needs. With this in mind, we have developed a section of the Plan focused just on student and family supports. In addition, this guiding principle was used to help inform other aspects of this plan.

During this period of extended school closure, the District has an obligation to engage students in meaningful and productive learning opportunities.
This Plan establishes guidance for the development of remote learning lessons, student engagement, student feedback, and grading of student work. The overall focus of the lessons are to engage students in meaningful learning activities that prioritize the development of key concepts and skills.

Maintaining connections between school staff and students is of primary importance during this unprecedented time of extended school closure, particularly for the most vulnerable members of our school community.
The Plan lists various tools that educators will use to communicate with students and families during this time. In addition, the plan established the expectation for teacher feedback to students and families on the work that students do.
