Distance Learning Program

Thank you for your interest in Barrow County School System's Distance Learning Program. We’ve compiled information to help answer your questions about how distance learning will operate for the 2020-2021 school year. If you have questions, please contact your school administration.

In anticipation of needing to conduct all teaching virtually at some point this year, BCSS staff have worked diligently to improve the distance learning experience for students since last spring. Teacher professional development has focused on effective teaching and engagement in a digital learning environment.

Expectations for teachers and students are consistent with those for in-person instruction. The digital school day follows a daily class schedule, Monday through Friday. Grading, attendance, engagement, participation, completion of all assignments, and expectations for learning and mastery of content standards is the model for all students.
