FLEXIBLE LEARNING DAYS

Purpose
Flexible Learning Days may be planned or held in the event of an unscheduled school closure due to situations, such as severe weather.  

Vision
The staff of Caledonia Area Public Schools values student independence, choice and voice, alternative learning experiences, and 21st century skills.  By implementing a flexible learning day, our students and parents have the opportunity to explore learning, build relationships, and provide exposure to content.

Implementation
This at home learning day will replace a snow day. The students may need a device to complete Flexible Learning Day assignments. Teachers will provide learning opportunities through other means for those who don’t have online capabilities. Teachers will provide pre-teaching and specific guidelines based on grade and subject matter.

Here are the guidelines for the flexible learning day:

• Attendance will be taken 5 school days after the flexible learning day with the flexible learning day being day 1. Work can occur and be turned in that day or any day before attendance is taken. Students are counted present once assignments are turned in.

• Teachers will be available via email/Schoology for parent and student questions starting at from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm on the flexible learning day. 

• If students have questions prior or following the flexible learning day they may ask teachers during the regular school classes.

• Learning will be exploratory and creative in nature. The lessons will expand on learning that has already happened in the classroom.
