As an approved e-learning district by the SC State Department of Education, York School District One has the flexibility to utilize up to five e-Learning days to allow for the make-up of short-term disruptions to in-person teaching and learning (e.g., inclement weather, utility interruptions, other emergencies that cause a school closure).
Instruction on these days may be synchronous or asynchronous. Schools don't have to make up e-learning days and are allowed five e-Learning days per school year.
What does it mean?
On a synchronous e-Learning day, students will receive instruction virtually on the regular school schedule.
If a full day of synchronous e-learning would most likely be interrupted substantially due to the anticipated power outages, the district may opt for an asynchronous e-Learning day. Teachers will share assignments and a district-wide due date with students and families. All work for that day must be turned in by the due date for students to be marked present for that day.
Below is information that will be useful to parents and students on an e-Learning day.
