PAPILLION, Neb. (KMTV) — Papillion La Vista Community Schools have announced a remote learning option for the fall.

The school district says the remote program is a completely separate program from the face-to-face instruction.

A registration link for the remote learning program will be sent to families through e-mail on July 28, which will need to be completed by July 31. Remote learning will start on August 18.

Students who choose the remote learning option must enroll on a semester to semester basis. After the completion of the semester, students can decide whether to move on campus or continue learning remotely.

See more information below and on their website.

• Each grade level at the elementary will be assigned a district teacher(s) to facilitate remote learning across buildings.

• Each course at the middle school and high school will be assigned a teacher to facilitate remote learning.

• Teachers will be giving instruction over zoom and/or assigning work for students to complete. Work will be graded accordingly.
