eLearning

School closures or eLearning days are determined on a case-by-case basis by the Superintendent. During an eLearning day, attendance is taken during each class and student participation is expected.

eLearning Plan Approved Fall 2025

At the October Board of Education meeting, our School Board approved the district’s updated eLearning Plan. Zion Elementary School District 6 has developed this eLearning plan to provide flexibility when school is canceled due to weather or other emergencies and offers our students the opportunity to continue learning in the event of school closures.

Depending on the pending situation, the district may either close school for the day or shift to remote eLearning so students can continue learning from home. To avoid extending the school calendar further into June, the district will use at least 2 emergency days as school closures before enacting remote eLearning.

If a remote eLearning day is enacted, K-8 students with access to technology will receive details on how to access their online classroom.

Students without access to technology will have access to eLearning resources. Printed eLearning materials for students in grades K-8 are being prepared and will be forthcoming.

All Pre-K students will receive a school readiness kit to replace any/all online instruction for a remote eLearning day. The kits will be sent home with our Pre-K students before the Thanksgiving break.

Please keep all eLearning materials in a safe place and reserve them for use until a remote eLearning day is enacted. If we do not have a remote eLearning day this year, you can use the materials during the summer to help your child keep learning.

This plan represents Zion Elementary District 6’s commitment to making every effort to ensure that the learning of every registered student continues to be successful. In addition, it supports student engagement independent of internet and technology resource access, minimizes disruptions, and ensures learning continues safely and effectively.
