COVID-19 Closure - Continuing Education Info Beginning Monday, March 16, 2020, all Omaha Public Schools will be closed as a preemptive measure to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our area. Please understand this decision was made after careful consultation with our local Douglas County Health Department, as well as other state and local officials. Student and staff health and safety is our top priority. Continued Learning Opportunities for Students We have plans in place to ensure students can stay engaged throughout this closure. Students in Elementary School: Each elementary school has received printed packets from Curriculum and Instruction Support to provide continued learning opportunities for students. On Monday, March 16 these packets will be available for pick up between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. at their student’s school. The packets are also available on the Omaha Public Schools website. Students in Middle and High School: Students will be provided one learning activity per week by email or another digital platform for most classes. More information will be forthcoming from individual teachers. Students will be expected to complete the lessons during the closure. The lessons are designed to keep students engaged in learning but will not be graded. If your family has internet access at home but not a household computer or mobile device, please contact your school principal by Sunday, March 15. We will strive to assist. All Students Thanks to a great partnership between Omaha Public Schools and Scholastic, all families have access to online reading materials. The Learning at Home Site, provided by Scholastic, is for Pre-K through grades 9+ and is a completely free resource to be used at home. There will be approximately three hours of learning opportunities that will include projects based on exciting articles and stories, virtual field trips, reading and geography challenges and more. This home resource will be available March 13-April 20, 2020. Log in at: http://www.scholastic.com/learnathom March 12, 2020 By Vicki General COVID-19, MillerParkElementary 0 Comment Read More >>
