Schools Will Keep Teaching – Online

Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow has issued guidance saying that schools will keep teaching  during the extended closure. Balow points out that school doors may be closed to students, but Wyoming education is open for business. Balow says. “Teaching and learning while practicing social distancing is a new concept for many. Teachers, parents, and students all need support in order for it to be successful.”  Each Wyoming school district must have an Adapted Learning Plan approved by the Wyoming Department of Education prior to April 6 to continue to receive state funding. On Monday, April 6, every district is expected to continue to provide an equitable education for all students in grades K-12 while access to school buildings is limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Adapted Learning Plans will allow each school district to deliver instruction through unique methods best suited to their district. Teton County School District #1 is providing distance learning opportunities for all K-12 students online. The district has purchased WiFi hotspots in the community that will be available at no cost to families starting on April 6th.
