Robert F. Kennedy Charter School (RFK) will be following APS’s lead regarding inclement weather. RFK teachers will be using asynchronous learning on days schools are closed due to inclement weather. Delayed starts will remain in play.
What that means is that rather than getting a day off from school to play in the snow or watch television, RFK students will be expected to complete lessons at home on days schools are closed due to inclement weather.
RFK employees, except for teachers and education paraprofessionals, will be expected to report to work as soon as safely possible. Please be sure to communicate with your supervisor. Teachers and educational assistants may work from home or at their school on those days.
Teachers may:
<li>Create and post assignments for students to complete on their own via Google Classroom or another platform</li>
<li>Maintain office hours online to support students with assignments, or offer tutoring</li>
<li>Use other instructional practices to ensure that students are learning.</li>
Students who don’t have access to a digital device or the internet will be given additional time to complete assignments in class when they return.
So, what happens to the two-hour weather delays under this approach?
Delayed starts are still a possibility, and there’s no expectation that students hit the books while they wait for the snow to melt so they can be safely transported to school. Students will follow the 2hr-delay schedule for either RFK MS or RFK HS.
