GMRSD Learning Plan

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Please READ MORE on a summary of the plans we have put in place for remote learning and support during the emergency school closure.  If you have questions about these plans please contact your students’ teachers, counselors, or school principal.  We are striving to balance providing some continued student learning while also hoping to limit undue stress upon families at this unprecedented time.  Your ongoing feedback and your partnering with our educators will be essential to any successes we have together.  

These plans will take effect on Thursday, April 9, and last through the emergency closure period.  In a previous letter I spelled out all the context for these plans and all the things the state and schools are aware of regarding the inadequacies of learning in this remote and hastily arranged manner.  So, I won’t repeat them again.  However, I do want to emphasize that our educators have been asked to teach in a whole new manner, using brand new tools, at a time that they too are struggling to manage this situation at home.  So, I would just ask that we all continue to show each other as much patience and understanding as we can. 

In it is an outline of what teachers will be providing by grade ranges across the district.  School principals will be communicating with you about more school specific details.
