Plan

2020-21 School

Year

Remote Learning Program Commitment

• PLCS is committed to providing students enrolled in the remote program the basic education necessary to keep students on grade level targets and obtain credits for graduation.

• The remote program will look different from a traditional learning day at school. It is a completely separate program from the face to face direct instruction.

• Courses will be taught by PLCS teachers separate from the regular classroom teachers providing direct face to face instruction in the classroom.

• Remote learning will begin on August 18, 2020.

• Students must enroll for a semester. At semester students may choose to move to on campus or

continue remotely.

• Each grade level at the elementary will be assigned a district teacher(s) to facilitate remote learning

across buildings.

• Each course at the middle school and high school will be assigned a teacher to facilitate remote learning.

• Teachers will be giving instruction over zoom and/or assigning work for students to complete. Work

will be graded accordingly.

• All completed assignments will need to be submitted electronically to the teacher.

• A specific schedule will be assigned once all of the enrollment is complete.

• Attendance will be taken and students will be expected to be online during their scheduled times.

• There will be an hour break for lunch. The rest of the day students will need to be online or

completing assignments.

• Course offerings/curriculum will be limited at each level, elementary, middle school and high school.

• Limited technology will be available for families, priority will be given to those with the highest need.

• Students enrolled in the remote program will NOT be allowed to participate in athletics or activities at the school. NO EXCEPTIONS!

• Students will be enrolled in the remote learning program at PLCS with students from throughout

the District. They will not be assigned to their current school and therefore will not receive communication and update from their school.

• Daily attendance will be taken and students are expected to attend all remote learning classes.
