As of Friday, February 25, 2022, the CDC does not require wearing of masks on buses or vans operated by public school districts. Masks are permitted to be worn on transportation and in the JTASD schools as a parental choice.
The Jim Thorpe Area School District will be on a virtual instruction day on Friday, February 25 due to the impending storm. A virtual instruction day counts as a day of school towards the 180 day requirement, and is live instruction, with attendance taken. Students should log into their online platforms (Seesaw, Google Classroom/Meet, Schoology) on their regularly scheduled class times. Student attendance is noted in the live Instruction classes and/or when they hand in their completed assignments on the next school day.
With the inclement weather predicted on Friday of this week, JTASD will be transitioning from FID Days to "Virtual Instruction Days" in the event bad weather hits the roadways of the Jim Thorpe Community. These "Virtual Instruction Days" provide an opportunity for both asynchronous (students completing assignments on their own) learning and synchronous (live teaching with the teacher) learning, whenever possible.
Please check the all call system for updates on weather related decisions later in the week.
