Virtual Option for Making Up Lost Learning Time

0

The EVSC School Board voted at its last meeting to approve recovering lost learning time due to snow days – in a virtual fashion – as structured  by the Indiana Department of Education’s Virtual Option.  The first of those days’ assignments will begin on Monday.

Each week – assignments will be given to students on Monday, and they will have the entire week to work on them virtually – whether they are at home, one of the EVSC’s community partner locations, or staying after school in order to have access to devices and Wi-Fi – with the assignment being due the following Monday.

If you would like to do a story on the state’s Virtual Option and how EVSC is doing it, please let me know.

Kindergarten Orientation

Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation elementary schools will host kindergarten orientation meetings on Tuesday, April 7, 2015.

The orientations give parents/guardians the opportunity to enroll students in kindergarten if they haven’t already done so, and receive additional information regarding kindergarten, meet school staff, ask questions and share information about their children.

Children should be five years old on or before August 1, 2015, to enroll in kindergarten for the 2015-2016 school year. To enroll, parents or legal guardians will need to be present and provide the child’s legal birth certificate (hospital certificates cannot be used) at the time of enrollment. For more information, parents can contact their child’s school.

Call numbers below to arrange interviews.

 

Thank you,
