What are remote learning days?
The term “Remote Learning Day” refers to a school day when instead of coming to a school building teachers and students communicate and engage in learning activities online through Google Classroom, Class Dojo, Email, Phone calls, or other learning platforms. Teachers share assignments and communicate with students to help them complete assignments and activities.
Remote learning days are held in the event of unplanned school closures due to emergency situations. Remote learning days are a great transition step to the digital world that is used every day and gives students the skills to work and learn online. During these days, our teachers are still actively engaged with students, directing and overseeing their work.
