We have established a revised academic plan for the duration of our closure and will begin our plan the week of April 6th. It is important for families to understand our plan is tentative and may need to be adjusted moving forward as we receive further directives from Governor Holcomb, Indiana Department of Health and the Indiana Department of Education. We recognize that not every family has access to technology. Details to navigate these issues will be communicated by Mr. Dean and Mr. Riggleman.
Governor Holcomb directed schools to close and implement alternative methods of instruction through May 1, 2020. Our hope is for students to return to our buildings on May 4th. Enclosed you will find a revised calendar, to share our plans for April and May (if a return is not possible). Please note, the eLearning portion of our calendar that continues beyond May 1st is only applicable if Governor Holcomb’s executive order is not lifted.
BSD eLearning resumes the week of April 6th. Our schedule allows for a combination of eLearning days and waiver days provided by the Governor.
