BES 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.  K-4 students will receive an assignment packet for each day eligible for AMI. Each packet will include a description of the assignments each student should complete, as well as the resources needed for each assignment.  Assignments will be given for reading, writing, vocabulary, math, science, social studies and possibly art, music or p.e. It is expected that these assignments will provide practice for skills already taught in school or enrichment activities to expand learning. If these packets cannot be provided before an AMI day is used, students will receive them when they return to school.  All work must be returned to the teacher by the end of the 5th day following the return to school to document student attendance. Teachers will be required to grade, record and return work to students within 48 hours of submission.
