This year Blooming Grove ISD has been conducting three different learning models for students:
- on-campus learning
- remote online learning
- remote paper packet learning
The remote learning model has proven unsuccessful for most of our students. Two of every three remote students are failing at least one class. Over 50% of the remote high school students are at risk of losing most of their credits this semester.
We encourage remote learners to switch back to on-campus learning as soon as possible to help them begin to improve their grades. For families who are interested in having your child come back to campus early, please contact the campus and they will help you make the transition.
For families that do not want to return to on-campus instruction at this time, there are a few options available:
- apply for a transfer to a district that offers remote learning
- withdraw to homeschool
- enroll in an online school
Even though you have these other options, we encourage you to stay at Blooming Grove ISD where the teachers and staff know your children.
We understand that not everyone will agree with this decision; however, we believe this is the best course of action for our students at this time. Thank you for your support during these uncharted and challenging times.
As is our current practice, in the event we have a confirmed COVID-19 case, those affected will be required to return to remote learning for the duration of the quarantine period.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 903-695-2541 x 1005.
Sincerely,
Rick Hartley
Superintendent
