South Central has implemented eLearning which allows students to learn lessons and complete assignments utilizing different types of technology. Teachers create lessons and assignments that include electronic resources through Canvas, our learning management system.
An eLearning day allows students to work remotely in the case of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances. These days take place of traditional snow make-up days. There are also two scheduled eLearning days on the 2021-2022 school calendar: November 2, 2021 and February 21, 2022.
Frequently Asked Questions
How will students receive their assignments for the day?
Teachers will post assignments in Canvas by 9:00am. Lessons will take place through various learning platforms that are used regularly in class. Students should log in to Canvas to view assignments and announcements from teachers.
Do students have to be on the computer for the whole school day?
No, eLearning days are designed to give families flexibility according to needs and schedules. However, students should take into account the time needed to complete work by the required deadlines.

What if we don’t have internet access at home?

Please communicate with the teacher to determine alternative opportunities to complete the required activities. Other options include visiting a friend or family member with the internet or using free public Wi-Fi access such as the local libraries.
