Dear Parents and Guardians,

An eLearning day provides Cairo SD #1 with an opportunity to engage students in remote learning activities that will continue to advance learning during building closures often due to weather conditions. The Cairo SD #1 eLearning plan will include plans for remote learning days, blended remote learning, up to five remote and blended remote learning planning days. The eLearning plan includes online and non-technology based activities that will continue to advance student learning.

During remote learning days, instruction shall be conducted remotely. In the event of an emergency school closing, the District will still retain the ability to choose between implementing an eLearning day or making up the missed day at the end of the school year. Again, eLearning is the opportunity for students and staff to engage in continued learning in the event school is canceled and an eLearning day is called due to school closures such as weather related conditions.

The District will hold a public hearing about the eLearning plan on September 23 beginning at 6:00. The district welcomes any input and will answer any questions and/or concerns you may have.

Thanks, Dr. Patrick Rice, Superintendent
