Letter to editor: GSL worked so ‘distance learning’ will be the best it can

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/01/2020 - 10:58am

To the editor,
Hello GSL School District members. We are living in unprecedented times and times where many of us need to live differently. At school, this isn’t any different.
This week, our school has started distance learning to deliver instruction and education to our students. For a large portion of this, we use the Internet to connect the staff with our students. This is done in a variety of ways.
For the past couple of weeks, our staff has been preparing for a long-term plan where students are not coming to school. We’ve been given the task from the state to continue the educational process, but not at the building. We were very well prepared for this as we had digital/different days for the past several years when there has been a cancellation of school due to the weather, but this was only a day here or a day there.
The challenge now is for our staff to deliver instruction away from our students for an extended time. The positive to this whole thing is that we are learning a lot. All of the new ways to deliver high quality instruction is a good thing. Of course, not seeing the students at school is the thing we miss the most. With all that said, we must continue to think differently, continue to connect, and provide a high quality education to our students. I am proud of the work we have done at GSL. It is great to be a part of a district where so many people are working on behalf of students.
Please stay safe, listen to our health-care professionals, and we will continue to seek ways to improve and make changes for the better. Thank you again for your support and here’s to a wonderful, yet challenging end of the school year.
Take care.
Christopher Sonju,
superintendent,
