March 29th, 2020 Dear Brookwood School District 167 School Community, Parents/ Guardians:
Board of education
State Superintendent Dr. Carmen Ayala has declared that Remote Learning Days will begin for schools statewide on March 31st and continue until in-person instruction can resume.
MS. DOREEN DAVIS
The State Superintendent clarified that during Remote Learning Days, schools may implement either an E-Learning Plan or a Remote Learning Day Plan that provides students with instruction and access to educators through whatever means possible. Remote Learning Days, Remote Learning Planning Days, and Act of God Days count as actual student attendance days. All of these days count toward the minimum length of the school year and do not need to be made up. ISBE’s Emergency Rules For Remote Learning Days: Click Here ==> https://bit.ly/2UuYBov

Over the past week, ISBE convened a Remote Learning Advisory Group of teachers, students, paraprofessionals, related service personnel, principals, and district and regional superintendents to make recommendations to support educators, students, and families during Remote Learning Days. The recommendations provide overarching best practices for instruction, grading, communication, social-emotional needs, content selection and delivery, family engagement, and other important concerns, as well as specific guidance for different grade bands, English Learners, and students with disabilities.
