GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — Green Bay Area Public School District announced Monday it has decided to hold virtual learning days for grades 6-12 on December 21-23.
The school district acknowledges the Michigan school shooting, the social media threats from last week and the weapon found at East High School earlier Monday as reasons for some parents to keep their students out of school this week, as well as the approaching winter break.
GBAPS has decided to hold virtual learning days due to concerns regarding attendance issues for the remainder of the week, and the difficulty of teaching and learning in a hybrid model.
GBAPS released this schedule:
PreK-5
December 21-23: In-person learning, students are to report to school. Similar to inclement weather days, parents always have the right to choose to keep their children at home. Students will work independently if they remain at home.
Grades 6-12 (includes students at Aldo Leopold, Red Smith, Leonardo da Vinci, and Minoka)
December 21: Virtual learning/no live instruction. Students are to log-in to Google Classroom.
December 22-23: Virtual learning with classroom teacher. Students are to log-in to Zoom.
Extra-curricular activities will still be occurring for the remainder of the week.
Schools with students in grades 6-12 will be communicating with families regarding meal pick-up times and locations, and how students can pick up their belongings if needed.
The school district also advised parents that officials will host a virtual parent meeting in January regarding district safety and security protocols. Exact details were not immediately released.
