Discussion:
Mr. Kobza shared information on options being discussed for alternative delivery of educational opportunities. One option is Acellus. The school currently has enough licenses for each student to access the online delivery. A second option is the use of Schoology to send academic content electronically. Preschool and Kindergarten students will be given a calendar with learning activity suggestions. The options are considered enrichment opportunities for students/parents to access during the time that school is closed.
