Dear Parents and Staff:
Following the approval of the district's e-Learning Program by the Orion CUSD #223 Board of Education on February 5, 2024, and by the Bureau-Henry-Stark Regional Office of Education on February 6, 2024, the district's administrators met to prepare a Student Remote e-Learning Plan, which lists student and teacher responsibilities.
The Student Remote e-Learning Plan was discussed at the Orion CUSD #223 Town Hall meeting on February 27, 2024. A copy of the Student Remote e-Learning Plan is posted on the school district's website.
If you have any questions concerning the Student Remote e-Learning Plan, please contact myself or a building administrator.
Sincerely,
Joseph A. Blessman, Superintendent
