E- Learning Day | Monday, January 26, 2026

Winter weather continues with bitter temperatures and accumulated precipitation from the weekend. For the safety of our students and staff, we will utilize another E-Learning day on Monday, January 26, 2026. The safety of students who stand at bus stops or walk to school remains our top priority.

This decision was made with student safety at the forefront, especially for those who wait at bus stops or walk to school. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we navigate these weather conditions together. Stay warm and stay safe.

Students are expected to log in for instruction. Attendance will be taken and recorded as follows:

Elementary School: Attendance will be taken during their scheduled Google Meet session with their teacher. Students should log in to Canvas and join the Google Meet session during the time provided by their teacher.

Middle School & High School: Students must log into InfoSystem to confirm their attendance.
Attendance will be processed at the end of the day.
Students that DO NOT log into the Infosystem will be marked absent.
Teachers can also request attendance changes based on student participation.

Students and families should check email and Canvas for instruction updates from their school. For more information, please visit our E-Learning webpage.

Project SCOPE will be open for currently enrolled SCOPE students from 7:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. at four combined locations. Please visit the SCOPE webpage to see where your child should attend SCOPE on an E-Learning Day.

Please contact your student’s school with any direct questions about e-learning.

As always, be safe and happy learning. We appreciate your patience as we navigate through an e-learning day.
