Online Learning Information (February 2026 Update)

Are you ready for spring? We certainly are! The 40s and 50s in the forecast for this next week will make it seem like it's spring, at least. I am writing a second follow-up to the information previously shared with you regarding our inclement weather learning plans for this school year.

We have now used our 3 allowable "old-fashioned" eLearning days, as permitted by Indiana Code. These were the days where assignments were posted and completed asynchronously throughout the day. We have also used 3 virtual learning days with live instruction. According to our current procedures, we then move to utilizing our built-in snow make-up days. One of those already passed in January. The second one is tomorrow, Friday, February 13th. We are OFF of school tomorrow. The remaining snow make-up day on the school calendar is Friday, May 1st. Should we have another inclement weather school cancellation, we would have no school that day and no virtual learning, and the day off would be made up on the remaining snow make-up day, May 1st. If we would have any cancellations beyond that, we would go back to virtual learning with live instruction so that we do not have to tack on days to the end of the school year.

Also, please note that our scheduled virtual learning day for Wednesday, March 4th, will now be a regular in-person student day. The Board of School Trustees officially took action this past Tuesday night to reflect that on the school calendar. We've had enough virtual learning that we don't need to utilize another planned day at this point.

As always, we appreciate your flexibility and continued support as we work to balance our state's instructional requirements with the safety of our students. If you have any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school office.

Yours in education,

Dr. Benjamin Anderson, Superintendent
