As a reminder of what this means…students will need to log online for their schoolwork. All schoolwork will be asynchronous, meaning you can work at your own pace. Students in grades Kindergarten through second grade should log onto ClassKick and grades 3-12 should log onto Google Classroom. Teachers will be available via a Zoom link through 12pm, but if you need assistance after that time, please feel free to email them.
Each building will send out an attendance link for you to complete. Please be sure to complete the attendance requirement as soon as possible. Work must be completed by 11:59pm Tuesday evening.
All athletics & student activities will be canceled for Tuesday evening.
A decision will be made tomorrow afternoon on whether the school board meeting will be held at 7pm tomorrow evening.
Thank you and have a great evening.

Good afternoon, families,
Below you will find the Virtual Snow Day information links for the 2025–2026 school year. As we enter the winter season, we want to ensure all families understand how Virtual Snow Days will work, what students can expect, and how attendance will be recorded.
This year, we have made some adjustments so that learning on Virtual Snow Days is more consistent and easier for students and families to navigate. Below is an overview of what you can expect.
Two Virtual Snow Day Models This Year
☃️ Option 1: Virtual Snow Day - This type of day will be utilized on a normal basis for both ice and snow storms.
📌 Before January 19
Grades K–5:
• Students will complete pre-recorded lessons in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
• Assignments will be posted in Google Classroom (grades 3–6) or ClassKick (grades K–2).
• Live teacher office hours (optional depending on subject) will be available from 9:30–12:00.
• No live instruction will take place (no 30 minute morning sessions and no 30 minute afternoon sessions).
Grades 6–12:
• Model remains the same as last year.
• Teachers will post pre-recorded content and assignments.
• Live office hours (optional depending on subject) will be available from 9:30–12:00.
📌 After January 19 (Grades 3-12 will start to use Nearpod as a tool to deliver content and assignments)
Grades 3–12:
• Teachers will create a Nearpod lesson for each class/prep.
• Nearpod lessons will include a teacher-created video and interactive activities connected to the recorded lesson.
• Lessons are designed so students can access everything in one place.
Grades K–2:
• Continue with pre-recorded lessons and connected assignments.
• Live teacher office hours (optional depending on subject) will be available from 9:30–12:00.
• No live instruction will take place (no 30 minute morning sessions and no 30 minute afternoon sessions).
❄️ Option 2: Virtual Professional Snow Days - This type of day may be utilized for significant snow storms as needed.
The School Board has also approved up to three Virtual Professional Snow Days for staff. These days allow teachers to participate in online trainings and meetings when weather conditions prevent an in-person workday. During these days, students will be off! These days will be only be called when there are significant snowfalls to allow for opportunities for traditional snow days for students. These days are not guarantees but will be utilized when the conditions present themselves.
We appreciate your cooperation and support as we continue improving our Virtual Snow Day model. Our goal is to provide a learning experience that is clear, consistent, and flexible for all students.
Please take a look at the Family Guide for the Virtual Snow Day, along with the video of Dr. Netznik explaining the snow day information.
