When inclement weather strikes the Atlanta area, there are times when school closure is necessary to keep students and staff safe. APS WeatherWise was developed to prevent learning loss and provide students with instruction to supplement the missed classroom time. Online learning is a natural remedy to the loss of class time during school closures because students are already adept with using the technology and have access to the lessons at home, and it easily allows students to continue learning without extending the school calendar.
What is APS WeatherWise?
APS WeatherWise is a program designed to provide students with assignments from their core teachers when APS is closed for inclement weather.
Why APS WeatherWise?
Online learning is a natural remedy to the loss of class time during school closures because students are already adept with using the technology and have access to the lessons at home through the myBackPack platform.
How does APS WeatherWise work?
After the second day of a school closure, APS may determine that the day is an APS WeatherWise Day. Students will access assignments in their APS WeatherWise folder in their Google Classroom.
