Dear Lamphere Families, To all of you who have selected to participate in the Lamphere Virtual Learning option through Edmentum/Calvert Learning. A Virtual Coordinator has been assigned to each of the students K-12 and will be contacting you via email next week with instructions about logins and modules. A Zoom meeting introducing you and your child to the Virtual Coordinators will be held for introductions before your child will be able to begin their virtual classes on September 2. We have opted for this date to ensure that both remote learning and Lamphere Virtual programs are implemented smoothly, with technological support available for all, as needed. Many of you are anxiously awaiting information about the structure of this program and how to help your child be successful. You are welcome to visit the Edmentum Parent Support website to learn more about the program. You can find specifics about our chosen plan by clicking on the Calvert Learning, Exact Paths and Courseware Learning Links. There is a great deal of information to learn but rest assured that we will be here to support you and your child as we venture down this new road together.

Thank you for your patience as we developed our remote teaching schedules for the first 10 weeks of daily instruction with your child/ren at the elementary, middle and high school levels. These schedules were developed to ensure: ​ Daily live teaching and learning opportunities in all classes at all levels. Small group instruction, support, and intervention in classes/subject areas at all levels. Opportunities for a full day of instruction and learning.

As we prepare to begin the 2020-21 school year engaged in remote learning with Lamphere teachers or Lamphere Virtual through Edmentum we have ordered Chromebooks (2-12) and iPads (Jr. K, K. 1) to allow us to become a 1:1 district providing every student access to a mobile device. Due to high demand during the COVID pandemic, our vendor has recently advised us that our Chromebook order is scheduled to arrive in October and we will distribute these devices once they arrive.

For the past few months the Lamphere Back to School Task force has been planning for both virtual and in-person options for the upcoming school year. After great care and thoughtful consideration, we have determined that the best course of action is to utilize the remote learning component of our Return to School Roadmap for the start of the 2020-21 school year. The Lamphere Board of Education approved this plan during their meeting last night.
