GES 2020/21
You have two options how your child can be educated this year. You can only pick one for the first semester. 1 Traditional with possible remote learning, OR 2 Virtual.

1. TRADITIONAL- Students will attend school based on the school schedule. When students are not at school, our teachers will provide them with assignments to aid in continuous learning. We want to not only teach our kids academically, but keep our students in small groups to acclimate them to the new routines of school. Many have asked if this schedule is just for August. As of right now, yes it is. In the event we have to go remote, students will be given chrome books if needed. Teachers will load lessons into google classroom and provide various learning opportunities for the students. We will be available to answer questions. If you do not have internet, they will load lessons to a flash drive for students to have the same quality instruction as those with internet. Grades will be taken during this time. We love our GES families and will do our best to work with you.
2. Virtual - The other form of education for your child is Virtual Learning. This is all online and the program is called Odysseyware. You have to have internet availability to have this program. There are previous posts explaining this. The guardian signs a Virtual Learning contract found on the district website. The student may still check out a Chromebook if needed but no longer physically attends GES. The teacher assigned to help your child when working on this program will probably NOT be a GES teacher but an Odysseyware tutor.

The Virtual contract must be signed and submitted to the school by July 24. The student may still participate in GES activities while on Virtual.
