In the event that we cannot be in session for school, Dr. Lorenz may decide to use an Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) day. Doing so 'counts' as a day in session that we do not have to make up. We have a limited number of these days to use and we make every attempt to prepare staff and students ahead of time.
When there is a change to the published school calendar (Late Start (above), Snow Day, AMI Day, Early Dismissal), we publish information via the following:
- School Website: slaterschools.net
- Text Alerts
- TeacherEase notification (email)
- Social Media: FaceBook, X, Instagram
- KMMO: radio, kmmo.com
Here's what AMI looks like at the High School -
HS AMI Preparation & Expectations:
Typically, at the HS level, AMI looks like Google Classroom assignments that the students access and turn in. Teachers will talk this over with students, informing them of the expectation (Participation/completion = attendance for the day) and determine what students may not have access to internet. If a student says that he/she does not have internet access at home, I have encourage a worksheet if a comparable one is available, a print out of the assignment, or the teacher may extend the deadline to allow the student time to complete the assignment. Time to plan comes into play, as well.
- Typical AMI day assignments at the HS level, utilize Google Classroom. We're looking for work that the students can complete from home and turn in for both attendance and participation.
- The work for one class period should take 15-20 minutes for a student to complete.
- When we return, teachers will let Mindy know what students did not complete work by the end of our first day back. This information will be used to record attendance information.
The weight room will be open for all HS students on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:00.
See Mrs. Campbell if you have questions.
The Handbook Highlight is a recap of a handbook policy or entry that our Students/Adults need to be aware of.
If I'm taking the time to include it, it's something to pay attention to - either because I'm seeing that people aren't clear on it, people aren't complying with it, or I'm about to crack down on it.
