Starting February 1, 2025, District 303 will begin their newly approved E-Learning plan, effectively replacing snow days with E-learning days. This plan helps ensure we don’t lose crucial instructional time when school buildings must be closed due to severe weather or an emergency. This maintains learning continuity and eliminates the potential need to add attendance days at the end of the school year to meet state requirements on instructional days.

Daily Work Expectations

- Student attendance is marked at a designated time, but students can complete work throughout the day.

- Staff is available for questions during regular school hours via Google Meet, email, or Schoology.

- Early Childhood students and some elementary students may receive non-digital (paper and pencil) work; others will use Schoology.

- School-work time will total 5 hours

Additional Details

Screen Time:

- Teachers determine synchronous (live video instruction) session times and share links via email or Schoology.

- Cameras must be on during synchronous sessions.

Student Assistance:

- Students can contact teachers for academic help through Schoology, Google Meet, or email.

- If families have technical questions or difficulties, we ask that they please use the district’s tech support link.

Attendance:

- For Non-Digital (paper and pencil) Work: Families scan a QR code or complete a Google Form to verify attendance.

- Digital Work: Attendance will be taken through the use of Google Forms.

- Opting out of an E-Learning day requires a call to the school’s attendance line to report the student’s absence.
