Greenburgh Academy Remote & Emergency Instruction Plan

Overview

It is our goal to ensure that all 9-12 special education students receive continued, appropriate instruction and support services as outlined in their Individualized Education Plans ( IEPs) during an emergency school closure ( e.g., a storm day)

 Technology and Connectivity

  • Device and Internet Access:

    • All students will be offered a Chromebook the day before a potential emergency remote day. A technology questionnaire is sent to all families.  If there is a lack of reliable WiFi, the district will assist the family, either finding local resources or providing a WiFi hotspot.

  • Instruction is synchronous (live).

  • Students are expected to follow their regular daily schedule.

  • For each class period, students will log in to Google Classroom. See the bell schedule below accordingly:

 Student Support and Progress Monitoring

  • Attendance: Students are required to attend school online during regular school hours and follow their standard schedule, including live lessons. Attendance will be tracked per policy.

  • Progress Monitoring: Teachers and case managers will continue to track student progress on IEP goals and academic metrics during the remote day and communicate any concerns to parents/guardians.

  • IEP Meetings: If an IEP or other review meeting is scheduled, it will be up to the sending district to decide if that meeting will be conducted virtually via video conferencing.

Expectations for Students and Families

  • Students: Are expected to log in on time, participate in synchronous lessons, complete assignments, and maintain appropriate behavior. Students must adhere to the school's dress code for video conferencing.

  • Families: Are expected to help ensure students have a suitable learning environment (e.g., a desk or table), facilitate the connection to the internet/hotspot, and contact the school immediately if they encounter any technology or access issue.
