Instructional Models for 2022-2023

The Jefferson-Morgan School District has decided on 2 educational options for all students PK-12 for the 2021-2022 school year.

Jefferson-Morgan Students have the following education options:

Traditional School Option- Students follow the school calendar with in-person learning. Students would be expected to attend school daily unless they have an excuse. Hybrid learning is not an option for the 2021-2022 school year. Students will not be able to access their classes virtually from home unless a remote/FIDS day is called for students. Students may only switch to cyber learning at the end of each grading period (special circumstances may be approved by the building principal).

Cyber School Option- Students follow the school calendar from home while participating in the JM eLearning Cyber Academy. Synchronous and Asynchronous options are available for students K-12. Students may only switch back to traditional learning at the end of each grading period (special circumstances may be approved by the building principal).

JM eLearning Academy Cyber School Information

If you want your child to participate in the Traditional School Option, you do not have to do anything.

If you want your child to participate in our Cyber School Option, we ask you to sign up your child as soon as possible to allow for proper planning.
