Now that winter has arrived, we wanted to remind you about District 54’s eLearning plan. Should an emergency day be needed, the first two closures will be traditional school cancellations. Should additional cancellations be necessary, District 54 will have up to three eLearning days, ensuring the last day of school occurs no later than Friday, May 30, 2025.
Should a school cancellation occur, families will be notified as usual and the notification will indicate whether it is a traditional closing or eLearning day.
During an eLearning day, students in grades K-8 will utilize their District 54 devices to access activities aligned with their grade level curriculum. These activities will be asynchronous, meaning students are not live on Zoom with their teachers. Students will have five days to complete these activities.
Junior high students can access activities by 8:30 a.m. and elementary by 9:00 a.m. on the identified eLearning Day. For any questions, please contact your child’s building principal or visit sd54.org/district-54-e-learning-plan.
iPads Being Sent Home
Beginning this week, students in kindergarten through second grade will begin to bring their iPads home each day through March 21, 2024.
K-2 students will also bring home a charger. The charger may remain at home through March 21.
Students are to bring their iPads back to school each day, charged.
As a reminder, iPads are an instructional device and should only be used to access the instructional apps that are installed on the iPad. As stated in the Instructional Device Agreement, parents/guardians are responsible for monitoring home internet access.
