NJ-SP School Board Approves Calendar with e-Learning Professional Development Days

The calendar for the 2019-2020 school year was approved by North Judson-San Pierre School Board members Tuesday night.

Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin told members some of the Bluejay Collaboration Time (BCT) was adjusted to allow for additional professional development.

Dr. Zupin explained, “What we have decided to do is convert two of our BCT days, which are two-hour delays, into full days. Those will be e-Learning days.

She added, “There are many schools who have utilized this for the last couple of years with e-Learning and it’s a great opportunity to provide that time to the teachers.”

Dr. Zupin said that on those days, teachers will provide assignments and activities for students to do from home on those days and they’ll also be available to offer assistance if it’s necessary.

She went on to tell members which BCT days will now serve as e-Learning professional development days.  

She noted, “October 28th will now be a full e-Learning day and then the January 20th, which was a BCT, will be full e-Learning.”

Superintendent Zupin stated that those are the only two predetermined e-Learning days but they’ll also be utilized when inclement weather strikes.
