jenna64+FollowBuffalo high schoolers go remote MondayHigh school students in Buffalo will be learning from home this Monday, January 26, as the district shifts to remote classes to give teachers time to grade the rescheduled Regents exams. If you’ve got a student in grades 9-12, expect them to log in through Schoology, Clever, or Teams using their usual devices. Meanwhile, elementary and middle schoolers still have a regular in-person day. Staff are all reporting to their worksites as usual. Anyone with questions can reach out to the district’s Helpdesk at 716-816-3510. How do you feel about these remote days—helpful or just disruptive? #Education #BuffaloSchools #RemoteLearning00Share
