eLearning Day: Tuesday, November 4th, 2025

Per the 2025-2026 school year calendar, November 4th, 2025, will be a “synchronous” eLearning day for all students. This means that schools will be closed to students, and students will attend classes virtually from home. The purpose of this scheduled eLearning day is to provide professional development time for our staff, while also an opportunity to test our eLearning systems and procedures.

Each school will schedule “live” Google Meet classes in the morning that will end by noon (see details below). Look for communication from your child’s school and teacher with important details and exact scheduled times. Teachers will also post “office hours” where they will be available to take calls or answer questions via email and ParentSquare. Attendance is based on work completion and meeting attendance. If your child does not have internet access at home, please contact your child’s school right away to obtain a Wi-Fi hotspot.
