Applications like Knowledgehook and Lexia are particularly valuable on snow days, as they allow students to be grouped based on their individual profiles and to continue learning new material. Literacy groups using the Empower program also occur when trained staff can safely reach the school. In addition, educators offer literacy and math lessons using different approaches to support all students in remaining engaged in meaningful learning.

Superintendent Lefebvre's visit underscored the commitment of Arran-Tara Elementary School to fostering a dynamic and adaptive learning environment, even on snow days. This dedication ensures that students continue to thrive academically, regardless of the weather conditions.

Today's lesson is that if you can get your students to school safely on a snow day, please do so! This helps to avoid learning loss on days when Mother Nature is not cooperating. Superintendent Lefebvre has also visited other Bluewater District School Board schools in Port Elgin and Southampton and witnessed the same high quality instruction on snow days.
