Learning Plans updated 9/17/20
Our staff has planned three educational scenarios, On-site Learning, Distance Learning, and Hybrid Learning (a combination of the first two). Also, please know that regardless of the learning model we decide upon, school districts are required to offer “Distance Learning Choice” to families who may be medically vulnerable or otherwise unable or uncomfortable about returning to school throughout the year.
Minnewaska Area Schools learning plans for the 2020-21 school year are as follows:
- K-6 elementary students will attend school in person, unless you have informed us your child will be participating in our “Distance Learning Choice” plan.
- 7-8th grade students are in a hybrid learning plan, unless you have informed us your child will be participating in our “Distance Learning Choice” plan.
- 9-12th grade secondary students will continue school in the hybrid learning plan, unless you have informed us your child will be participating in our “Distance Learning Choice” plan.
- Details related to each of these plans are found on our Quick Reference Guide and in this Detailed Plan Information Guide.
- Back to school supply lists may be found on the district’s website in the news or in the resources section of each school page or here for K-3, 4-6, and 7-8th grade.
-
The school board also emphasized the importance of advising you that decisions on how to begin the school year, and how to continue the school year may change weekly and you should be ready to adapt to those changes if/as they occur.
