Snow Day Calculator: SASD Reiterates Plans When Schools Need to Close for Weather
The Sheboygan Area School District reminded families that snow days can still occur in the coming month or so, a reality some may be checking with a snow day calculator even as the district says plans are in place to keep students learning when weather forces cancellations.
Snow Day Calculator and SASD’s Virtual Learning Days
The administration said that when winter weather forces cancellations, Virtual Learning Days will be employed instead. Buildings will be closed and students will learn remotely from home under the district’s plan.
Who switches to remote and what materials they'll use
Early Learning Center and Elementary students should already have a take-home packet to use, the district noted, while Middle and High School students will engage in live, virtual instruction at home their regular schedule with their teachers. Those are the concrete steps SASD has set out to replace in-person classes during a closure.
How families will hear about closures
Phone, email and text messages will be used to notify families when closings occur, and those notices are also posted on the SASD website and social media pages. Families relying on a snow day calculator should still watch for district messages by phone, email or text and for posts on the SASD website and social accounts.
