BMS Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) Plan

If school is canceled due to an emergency or exceptional circumstances such as inclement weather or utility outage, the Superintendent may call for an AMI day to be used.  Teachers have established a Google Classroom for each class and will upload an assignment with clear directions and expectations. These assignments will link back to the standards for each course to continue the learning occurring in the classroom and provide opportunities for practice and extensions.  Packets of learning will be made available for those who do not have access to technology at home. Teachers will survey their classes in advance to determine which students will need the packet of learning. If the packets of learning cannot be provided before an AMI day is used, students will receive them when they return to school.  All student work, through Google Classroom or packet must be completed to document student attendance and must be submitted by the end of the 5th day following the return to school. Teachers will grade, record and return work to students within 48 hour of submission.
