Grades 5-12 Learning Plan

  • The process for grades 5-12 is initiated from the classroom teachers and their district established curriculum. Although we believe nothing can replace face-to-face instruction, our teachers have access to a wide-variety of delivery applications and communication tools to ensure the students have what they need to continue learning. Each instructor compiled an Individual Remote Learning Plan that is available on their teacher website. The plan includes modes of delivery and communication, feedback, and how to receive additional support. 

    Sault Area Public Schools are committed to the following principles:

    1. Keep Students at the Center
