Columbia School District
Continuity of Learning and COVID-19 Response Plan
As a result of COVID-19 and the closing of school buildings for the 2019-2020 School Year, Columbia School District has developed this Continuity of Learning and COVID-19 Response Plan in order to provide our students with excellence in education. Although the Columbia School District buildings are closed and our teachers are not providing in-person instruction, the Columbia teachers and administrators are dedicated to providing our students with continued learning.
Columbia School District will provide instruction at a distance using a variety of methods that meet the needs of our students, including printed materials, phone contact, email, virtual learning, or a hybrid model to ensure a positive learning experience for our children.
The Columbia School District Continuity of Learning and COVID-19 Response Plan contains the Assurance Document, Budget Outline, and Continuity of Learning Plan. This Plan is being submitted to the Jackson County Intermediate School District in satisfaction of the Governor’s Executive Order (EO 2020-35).
Guiding Principles:
Student Focused:
The Columbia School District Continuity of Learning and COVID-19 Response Plan focuses on the students of Columbia Elementary, Columbia Upper Elementary, Columbia Central Jr - Sr High, and Options High School.
Staff members will use intentional outreach strategies to continue building relationships and maintain connections in order to help students feel safe and valued.
Staff members will plan for student learning by building on students strengths, interests and needs, and use this knowledge to positively affect learning.
Staff members have established student centered routines and structures for consistency and for the balancing of think time, work time, and play time for health and well-being.
Staff members will contact families in a partnership to support student learning through ongoing communication and collaboration.
Equity and Access:
Columbia School District is dedicated to equity and access for our students.
Columbia School District has focused on planning and delivering content in multiple ways so that all students can access learning.
Teachers will review content from the first three quarters of instruction. New content will be presented as a challenge or enrichment. The content based upon their knowledge of each student, content area standards, and the Michigan Merit Curriculum.
Teachers will use a flexible approach to instruction by using various tools and resources that will be available to students. Alternate modes of instruction will include the use of online learning telephone communications, email, virtual instruction, videos, slideshows, project-based learning, use of instructional packets, or a combination to meet diverse student needs.
Columbia School District puts a priority on partnering with families. Teachers will work to engage families to help support their students as they access the educational learning opportunities.
Assess Student Learning:
Columbia School District teachers will work to manage and monitor the plan for student learning to focus on what is next for the children including the potential need for summer and supplemental learning.
Teachers will use a variety of strategies to monitor, assess, and provide feedback to students about their learning.
Teachers will use previous formative assessment results to guide their reflections of the effectiveness of their instruction and facilitate the direction for additional student learning.
Communicate with families about previous assessment results in order to inform next steps and the potential for supplemental summer learning.
