VVISD Distance Learning

Valley View ISD distance learning opportunities will allow students to engage in high-quality learning experiences, utilize Valley View ISD instructional
resources, and meaningfully connect with their teachers and other students. All activities will be designed to meet the needs of the student in the

online environment through differentiated experiences that are consistent with those of their grade-level peers attending in-person.

• Teachers will teach students from their homes while we transition into in-person learning. Teachers will return to campus two weeks prior to
in-person learning to ensure all protocols are reviewed and in place prior to students returning.

• In this setting, teachers will also provide instruction, learning resources, and support through the use of Google Classroom.
• Parents will support students by ensuring they have access to a device, a place to work, and are engaged in distance-learning activities.

• We will ensure open lines of communication among teachers, students, and parents, as we work together to ensure each student, is
academically and socially-emotionally future-ready.
• Teachers will utilize the same curriculum as students who attend in-person instruction and will design strategies for learning in a remote

environment.
• Grading will be consistent with the guidelines and practices used in all in-person instruction.
