School Alert - School Closure Announcement - Please Read Carefully

At the beginning of the year, each parent notified the school if their child had internet access.  There were only a handful of parents that notified us that their child did NOT have access to internet.  Students that legitimately do NOT have internet will still need to participate meaningfully in the Flexible Instruction Day in order to be marked present.  Apollo-Ridge Middle School/High School teachers will provide a Flexible/Virtual Instruction Day virtual folder and download it to every student's laptop that will include either previously recorded lessons or supplemental lessons and assignments to each student that does NOT have internet.  This will ensure that instruction would be able to be provided to students regardless of their situation.  Each teacher will place 5 lessons/activities in a folder on each students laptop at the beginning of the year or when we begin to get close to exhausting all of our built-in "Snow Make-up Days".  The teachers will make sure that these contingency assignments will review previously taught concepts or provide downloadable video instruction of current and relevant concepts being taught at school.  These contingency assignments will be completed and submitted the next day they attend school or the next time they could connect to the internet and submit them electronically to their teacher.  Students that are working on the contingency assignments will have the ability to ask questions and get help when we resume school during our normal tutoring times every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00am-7:30am or they could get additional help by asking the teacher during 1st period (High School Students) or 7th period (Middle School Students) daily.
