INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE PENDING
LOCAL, STATE & FEDERAL AUTHORITIES

On Monday, August 17, Avinger Independent School District will welcome our students and their families back to school - whether in person or virtually. Our staff has been working throughout the summer months to ready our campus through extra safety precautions and with a strong instructional model for on-site learners as well as a much improved, robust instructional model for our virtual learners.

Per Texas Education Agency guidelines, parents/guardians will be asked to commit to either On-Campus or At-Home Remote Learning by completing a Commitment Form for each student. If Avinger ISD is required to close again for an extended period of time, all students will transition to online learning.

SMART RESTART 2020

Avinger ISD is required to offer two (2) educational options for the 2020-21 school year:

TRADITIONAL ON-CAMPUS LEARNING
(In-person learning on campus, with heightened hygiene and disinfecting protocols;)

AT-HOME REMOTE LEARNING
(Full-time learning opportunities which occur virtually from home and not on a Avinger ISD campus. Curriculum and resources provided by Avinger ISD teacher will be specifically designed for a virtual environment and aligned to district expectations/scope and sequence of curriculum. At-Home Remote Learners will be required to participate in class and demonstrate progress on a daily basis. If a student does not participate daily, they will be marked absent and could lose credit for the class. At-Home Remote Learning will be a full course load of instruction and assignments that is comparable to what students who are attending school in person will be required to complete. At the secondary level, some elective courses may be limited. Extra-curricular will NOT be available for remote learners.)

Beginning Monday, August 3, parents/guardians are required to commit to one of the learning options in order to help Avinger ISD complete plans for the start of the 2020-21 school year. You will be able to change your decision by August 10 by contacting your student's campus for further direction.

PLEASE NOTE:
If you have multiple students, you will need to complete a form for each student enrolling for the 2020-21 school year.

Providing two learning opportunities gives parents/guardians a choice based upon what is best for their family and student(s). Although the school year may look different than ever before, Avinger ISD is striving to do what is best for ALL and is prepared to support students within two learning environments to ensure student success.
Please complete the student Learning Opportunities Commitment Form for each student by Monday, August 10, 2020.

Thank you.
