As per Minnesota Governor's announcement on Wednesday, March 26, regarding MN Public School Closures and COVID-19,
JCC Schools will be closed from Monday, March 30 through Monday, May 4. During this time, a Distance Learning Plan will be implemented. This Plan will be published on this website on Friday, March 27.
--------
During our Distance Learning, we will continue with scheduled school breaks. For instance, our spring break will still be April 9-13. There will be no school attendance/check ins required for Thursday, April 9, Friday, April 10, or Monday, April 13. Students are still able and welcome to work on assignments. Daycare and food service will not be available April 9-13.
----------
Pursuant to the executive order from Governor Walz, schools will be closed from March 30th, 2020 through May 4th, 2020. School is anticipated to resume in-person on May 5th, 2020. The Jackson County Central School District has developed a distance learning plan to ensure students can continue their education during this extended school closure. The school website serves as a portal for information regarding distance learning as well as connections to specific school plans.
Remote teaching and learning will take many forms, however you can expect that there will be communication, progress monitoring, and/or feedback between teachers and students. While Distance Learning is not the same as the regular classroom environment, it can provide some continuity when school is interrupted. It will also serve to further prepare our students for today's digital world.
Jackson County Central school district website, Facebook and instant alert will be the avenues the district will use to communicate and provide up to date information with staff and families.
JCC Paraprofessionals, with Palmer Bus Company, will deliver packets to individual E-3rd grade students on Monday, March 30, and Tuesday March 31. Packets will also be delivered to our special education students. Teachers will have instruction directions in the packet.
As always, our first priority is the safety and well-being of our learners, families and staff. We also want to ensure every learner has access to the education they need and deserve. If your family does not currently have internet access, please contact our technology department. In the event that we are not able to coordinate internet access, your child will receive an alternative means for participating and learning. Our District distance learning plan will be up on our website on Friday with links for more information.
