East Aurora District Addresses Illinois School Closures

Press release from East Aurora School District 131:

April 17, 2020

Today Governor Pritzker extended the school building closure through the remainder of the school year, for all Illinois public schools.

While our buildings are closed, school remains in session through remote learning. District 131 Is launching an enhanced Remote Learning Plan, a plan that reflects a collaboration across the district, and improves upon the current remote learning, by increasing weekly check-in with students and families for academic needs and emotional support needs, as well as an assortment of community and learning support and resources.

This plan also includes iPad distribution to students in Kindergarten through Grade 5, the week of April 27 with apps loaded for use, with and without internet access, in both Spanish and English.

Look for more information early next week on many items, including more about remote learning, support for students, as well as an update on our Class of 2020 graduation.
