“I asked parents, staff in attendance, and our students about the potential for snow and our options for continued instruction in a virtual model,” McGarry said. “I have to be honest; when one of the K-Center students said, ‘I want to play,’ I changed my mind on holding a virtual day of instruction on December 17th, 2020.”
McGarry said parents in the district will always be notified via email, social media, website or app of a virtual learning day or a snow day no later than the night before so that they have time to prepare.
Due to local school districts using a hybrid or online learning model amid the coronavirus pandemic, many officials have had to decide whether their students should receive a proper snow day during storms this winter or if they should continue virtual learning.
