What is a Personalized Learning Day?
Personalized Learning is a student-led day of choice. On Personalized Learning Days, our teachers and staff will engage in professional development while the students are at home and learning independently.
When are the Personalized Learning Days?
- Tuesday, September 6
- Tuesday, November 8
- Tuesday, February 21
What does my student need to do?
Students will not report to school on Personal Learning Days (PLD), but this isn't a “day off.” Choose at least one experience from the Choice Board and design a learning opportunity. Options include: Lunch with the SROs, Zoom with the MHS Football Coach, chores, virtual field trips, going to work with an adult, and more!
