Dear Vision Academy Community,
Due to potentially hazardous road conditions tomorrow, Vision Academy scholars will have a Flexible Instructional Day, which means that scholars will be learning VIRTUALLY tomorrow (Jan 6th). This means that scholars will NOT report to the building/campus tomorrow.
A Flexible Instructional Day means that all scholars will remain home, and instruction will occur inside the home. Most of the instruction will be asynchronous, meaning that teachers will give scholars assignments to complete.
By 9am (at the latest), teachers will post assignments on the Learning Hub for their regularly scheduled classes. This link can also be found on our school’s website. Please look for additional announcements/information from your child’s teacher on Class Dojo. Teachers will be available via email and/or Class Dojo from 9:30am to 3:45pm tomorrow to provide assistance and answer any questions.
Special Education and ESL Services – Our Special Education and ESL teachers will continue to provide small group support via Zoom or Google Meet during scheduled times per the daily schedule. Teachers may also create daily schedules for their scholars and will communicate with families regarding Zoom or Google Meet links and support schedules. Please refer to page 27 of the Parent and Scholar Handbook for online learning expectations and the code of conduct.
Expectations for Scholars:
-
Completing Work – Scholars who do not have access to technology or the internet are expected to complete their assignments and return the assignments to school once regular classes resume.
-
Completing Virtual Assignments – Scholars participating virtually and with access to the Learning Hub or Class Dojo are expected to complete asynchronous assignments for short-term closures during the designated school day.
-
Seeking Help – Scholars and their families are encouraged to communicate with teachers if they encounter any problems or have questions regarding their assignments.
-
Scholar Attendance – Attendance for Flexible Instruction Days (FID) depends on completing assigned work. Scholars will be marked “present” in the student information system if the completed assignments are returned or if the online work is completed. Scholars will be marked “absent” if the assignments are not returned or if the online work is not completed. Scholars should return the assignments to their teachers upon the school’s reopening or upload the packets into the Learning Hub.
With any questions, please reach out to administration (Dr. Coll, Ms. Dahl, or Dr. Adam), or reach out to your child’s teacher directly. Thank you for being such an important part of the VACS family!
