2. Flexible Instructional Days
The District continues to be approved by the Department of Education for up to five Flexible Instructional Days (FID). Flexible Instructional Days may be used for various reasons including hazardous weather conditions or weather-related emergencies. In the event of inclement weather, the District will make a determination to activate the use of a FID day. If a FID day is activated, the District FID plan will be implemented and the following will occur:
1. The District will move to an all virtual schedule (see below)
2. The District will follow one consistent bell schedule for all K-12 students.
9:00 a.m.- School day begins (K-12)
12:00 noon-1:00 p.m.- Lunch (K-12)
3:15 p.m.- School day ends
3. All morning sessions (9:00 a.m.-12:00 noon) will be synchronous.
4. All afternoon sessions (1:00 p.m.-3:15 p.m.) will be asynchronous.
5. Secondary will have an alternating bell schedule for each FID day utilized (see below).
Flexible Instructional Day Protocols
• All lesson material will be available in Canvas Learning Management System.
• Teachers will implement synchronous and asynchronous instruction via Teams and Canvas.
• We will proceed with any previously scheduled IEP/GIEP/504 meetings that are scheduled to be held virtually. Case managers should offer to change in-person meetings to virtual and, if necessary, offer to reschedule.
• If directed by central administration, and only if needed, select schools may be open and available to provide internet access to students and staff that do not have home access.
• If directed by central administration, and only if needed, library space may be made available for students to work, if required, and accompanied by a parent/guardian (K-5).
• In the event of mass electricity failure, the District will call a traditional “snow day.”
