Remote Instruction Days
Connellsville Area School District has the ability to use Remote Instruction Days each school year which can be used in place of a traditional school day when school would be traditionally canceled due to inclement weather or other extraneous circumstances. On Remote Instruction Days, students have the ability to learn remotely and count as instructional/student days.
How will I know when CASD calls a Remote Instruction Day?
Students, families, and staff will be notified of Remote Instruction Days through CASD’s School Messenger phone call system, as well as being broadcasted on WPXI, WTAE, and KDKA school delay and cancellation platforms. Remote Instruction Days may be called the morning of an event, the day before, or even in advance. Therefore; students, families, and staff should always be prepared to transition to a Remote Instruction Day without prior notice. Taking your Chromebook and materials home each night is required in being prepared to participate in a Remote Instruction Day.
What does class look like on a Remote Instruction Day?
Students should attend school remotely, online via Google Classroom, through school email, as well as any other online resource available to CASD students. Students will log on according to their school building’s Remote Instruction Day schedule and complete the assignments for that day. Instruction is asynchronous. In order to be marked present for the day, a student must log into their assigned online platforms, such as Google Classroom, and complete that day's assignment. If a child does not have internet access or their teacher is absent on a Remote Instruction Day, they should complete a Remote Instruction Day choice board activity for each of their scheduled classes. Choice boards are distributed by individual teachers, but may also be obtained by contacting your school's office. Students have three school days to return the completed assignment upon return to school. If a student does not login and complete work during the school day or complete a choice board activity and return it to the teacher within three school days, they will be marked absent for that day.
Can students get help from teachers on a Remote Instruction Day?
Teachers and staff will be available for help on Remote Instruction Days via school email and Google Meet. Technology assistance is also available by calling your school office and asking for assistance from our Technology Department.
