Digital Learning Day Support
For a BCSS "Digital Learning Day," students will have the opportunity to continue learning while having the flexibility to complete activities at home. Teachers will provide assignments via Microsoft Teams or Canvas LMS. K-2 grade assignments/materials may be sent home with students as needed (packets, manipulatives, etc.).
The Digital Learning Days for the 2024-2025 school year are November 4 and March 17.
What to Expect
Assignments will be posted for student access by 9 a.m. on the Digital Learning Day. Combined work from all classes will total 2-3 hours (Elementary) or 4-5 hours (Middle/High).
