Liam HalawithMaroon Echoes News Editor-In-Chief At Monday’s Mount Pleasant Community Schools Board of Directors meeting they approved their Return-to-Learn plan that included plans about Remote Learning Options for students and families that request it.
The district is giving families the option to attend school remotely instead of going to the school building in the Face-to-Face model. The district will be offering remote learning to anyone who would like to attend school in that fashion. Those who attend remotely will be taught by Mount Pleasant teachers with the same curriculum as if they were attending in person. “I believe that it's the expectation of our governor that we provide [remote learning options] to all families...so a remote learning option will be made to all students,” said Mr. Henriksen. The district has yet to nail down the specifics of the optional online learning but has a general plan for the service. The district will have teachers in every grade level act as academic-technical advisers for the students. They will keep in touch with the students and make sure that they are staying on track with their school work. All grade levels will be able to participate in the remote learning option, with all grade levels moving their curriculum onto the district’s learning management system, Canvas. Students will be required to complete work at a regular pace and the core teachers will be managing their instruction and grading. School Board Member Josh Maher was excited to see that we were putting our remote learning skills to the test and hopes to see us expand our capabilities in the future. “Online learning is one of the things I think we should be more situated with. COVID is giving us a really great opportunity to really get into it, and have a robust online presence in the education. I would really like to see a very good online education from the Mount Pleasant Community School District, so they can look at Mount Pleasant’s online platform and say ‘That’s a school district I want to go to.’,” said Mr. Maher. To register your child for remote learning contact your building principal or central office staff. For more information visit the district’s return to learn plan or contact the central office.
