REMINDER: EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES SURVEY DUE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10th, 2021. As part of the Governor's press conference on February 9th, he charged districts with creating a plan to address learning losses related to the challenging schedules and environments created by the COVID-19 pandemic. His initial suggestions include extending the current school year, starting next year early, and extending the time of the current learning day. We want to explore the suggested options and potentially find some creative solutions to meet the needs of our school population. We are hoping to gain feedback from our community to help design our plan to best meet the needs of the students that we serve at Coshocton City Schools. We ask that you take a few minutes to answer some initial questions to help us move forward with our plans. We will be collecting responses through Wednesday, March 10th.
