• Information and Frequently asked questions about Peoria Public Schools' E-Learning/Snow Day Learning

     

    • Where do parents or students find assignments? Assignment information directions are located on each school's website either from the front page or on the teachers' websites.
    • What will the snow day learning at home process look like?  ​Teachers will design learning experiences that focus on grade level skills by content area. Learning experiences are to be the equivalent of a five hour day.
    • What if my child can't complete the assignments/learning activities because I'm at work? ​Students will have up to five school days to complete work assigned for emergency days.
    • What about special education/self-contained students throughout the district? ​Developmentally appropriate learning experiences will be provided to students based on teacher selection and design.
    • For high school teachers and students, how will learning at home assignments be communicated? ​Teachers will engage in live instruction throughout the day with students. Students will "move" virtually from period to period on MS Teams.
    • Will implementing this procedure result in more snow days? ​No. The district has no plan to intentionally use all of the days that are permitted unless absolutely necessary when student and staff safety is at issue.
    • Can I choose to have my children do both the online learning activities and the take home packet? ​Yes. 
    • What if the snow day is announced at 7 a.m. the day of? ​This has never happened as our buses leave very early in the morning to begin routes as early as 6:00 a.m. Our emergency response team determines the need to cancel by monitoring weather beginning the night before and through the very early hours of the morning. 
    • Who should I contact for more information or if I am having an issue with the snow day learning? Your building principal.
