REMOTE LEARNING PLAN - S&F

Winter weather is inevitable. That's why we're sharing plans with you now!

The SFSD will use Remote Learning when winter weather can be predicted in advance and when technology devices (Chromebooks or iPad) can be sent home the day prior. Remote Learning on Emergency/Weather Closure Day aims to engage students with relevant lessons and encourage academic growth even while students are away from school.

All students have practiced in the classroom and are familiar with how to access school work through the Canvas platform so learning can continue. Additional information can be found by clicking the VIEW Parent/Guardian Guidance Here button below.

The SFSD makes winter weather decisions with support from the Lead Forecasters at the National Weather Service, City of Sioux Falls Street Crews, Police, SBI, and by driving neighborhood routes to schools. Make sure your contact information is updated at your child's school to receive information emails, texts, and phone calls when schedules change.

Please have a plan in place for all possible scenarios – late starts, early dismissals, cancellations, and remote learning. While we hope there are few adjustments needed this winter, South Dakota weather always includes some surprises.

To find additional details concerning your child's IEP services, communication with case managers, and the status of scheduled IEP meetings on remote learning days, please review the letter from the Director of Special Services by clicking below.

In-person learning, with a high-qualified teacher at the head of the class and dialogue happening among students, is the best environment for academic success. Remote Learning will be used sparingly for weather-related closures and emergency situations and only when it can be planned in advance.
