In July 2022,  HB 1093 was passed, which changed the way school districts conduct eLearning (virtual learning).  This new law states that school districts “may conduct not more than three virtual student instructional days that do not meet the established requirements.” The information provided below explains how ACCS will continue to offer quality virtual learning for our students while meeting the synchronous learning requirements of this new law.

School Cancellation Plan

Teacher Professional Development Days: ACCS teachers will participate in four professional learning days on August 13, September 10, January 19, and February 16. These days are without instruction for students and will not need to be made up.

Make-up Day: If school is cancelled before November 26, school will be made up on November 26. An asynchronous (video) virtual learning day will be used instead of a make-up day if the first cancellation day occurs after this date.

Asynchronous (Video) Virtual Learning: The first three cancelled days after November 26 will be asynchronous (video) virtual learning.  This is the virtual learning framework that we have used for the past several school years.  During our asynchronous days, teachers post lessons and activities on Schoology for students by 10:00 AM following a 2 hour delay or 11:00am following a 3 hour delay. Teachers will be available through email and Schoology messaging to support students until 3:00 PM.  

Synchronous (Live) Virtual Learning: Any additional school cancellations will use the required synchronous (live) virtual learning format.  This means that the students' teachers will deliver instruction to students in real-time using student devices and the Internet.  Please note that elementary will begin at 12:00 p.m. and middle/high school begins at 11:00 a.m. (see Virtual Learning Schedule below).  All students and teachers will follow the schedule for live instruction, with students logging into each class via a Google Meet link provided on each Schoology course page.  Parents need to call the elementary or middle/high school office if your child cannot participate in synchronous (live) virtual learning (illness, no internet connection, etc.).  All other absences will be considered unexcused.
