On schools from State of Oregon
A letter sent from the Or-
egon Department of Edu-
cation to superintendents
and principals last week says
there is a “very real poten-
tial” that students in the
state may not return to
school this academic year.
The state is asking districts
to have their Distance
Learning for All plan in
place by Monday, April 13.
The state letter says:
Even from a distance,
schools are encouraged to
focus on student connec-
tion, on nurturing relation-
ships with students and
families, on communicating
with parents and caregivers,
and on providing opportu-
nities for active collabora-
tion between school leaders,
teachers and staff.
The timeline happened
as follows: In mid March
the Oregon Department of
Education learned that stu-
dents would lose seven days
of school. A week later
Gov. Brown extended the
closure through April 28.
Now, the Oregon De-
partment of Education is
preparing for the fact that
students may not return be-
fore summer vacation.
Districts initially planned
to make up the lost days in
summer, but with the
governor’s order, the state
is now adapting to provide
distance learning.
“We now have a moral
imperative to meet the
changing nature of the pan-
demic and evolve our ap-
proach to serving our chil-
dren,” Oregon Department
of Education wrote in the
letter to superintendents and
principals.
The department of edu-
cation said it is shifting
from supplementary educa-
tion to a longer-term plan.
“Of course, education
without face-to-face inter-
action between students and
teachers will look and feel
different and cannot be fully
replicated across a distance.
It will not and cannot hap-
pen overnight,” the Oregon
Department of Education
said.
They are asking families
and educators to be patient
as we work to provide
learning for the students.
Since the Oregon Depart-
ment of Education released
Distance Learning for All
guidelines in the letter last
week, district 509-J is devel-
oping and finalizing its plan
to meet each of its school’s,
and the students’ needs.
this week is closed to the
public. Easter basket distri-
bution will be from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. this Friday.
