'Snow Day' Gives Douglas Students First Online Learning Day

DOUGLAS COUNTY, GA — The lack of snow was a disappointment for many, but the inclement weather day Jan. 29 gave teachers and families their first trial run at online learning. Many students were up bright and early to work on assignments, and teachers were only a phone call or email away.

The goal of online learning is to keep students engaged and on track with their lessons and to eliminate the need for make up days during scheduled breaks or at the end of the year.

The school system wants to know how online learning went at your home on Jan. 29. Your feedback will help them improve our practices and expectations.
