The Mountain View School Division has sent a letter to parents, now offering the option of temporary remote learning for K-8 students who can be supported with learning at home.
This option will be available from November 30 until December 18, 2020, and may be extended into January of 2021.
The MSVD notes that children who use the remote learning option will need support and supervision at home. In-class learning will also continue to be provided at school.
Families without connectivity can be supplied with physical learning materials from the school.
Student progress will still be measured, assignments will be assessed, and report cards will be issued with the remote learning option.
Those who want to enrol their child in remote learning are asked to complete the online survey emailed to families and also posted on the school website.
More information on the Remote Learning planning is available at the MVSD website.
