Distance Learning 2020-2021

The Tulsa Public Schools Board of Education made the decision that students in middle, junior high, and high school will continue in distance learning for the rest of the calendar year and return to in-person classes after winter break on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021. 

The Board of Education also decided that students in pre-K through 5th grade and sixth graders who attend an elementary school will return to in-person learning, but we will provide flexibility for families who would prefer to have their children continue fully in distance learning during quarter two.

If you would prefer that your child continue in distance learning from home during quarter two, please complete our Quarter Two Commitment Form by logging into SmartChoice at www.tulsaschools.org/Q2form. If we do not hear from you by Saturday, Oct. 31, we will plan for your child to have in-person classes at his or her school.

Please note:

• Students who remain in distance learning will continue to use their Chromebooks and Canvas as their primary learning resources.
• Students’ attendance will remain the same for quarter two - visit www.tulsaschools.org/attendance for more information.
• Students will have contact with their assigned teachers - this will be limited to a few touchpoints a week.
• School teams will plan these touchpoints to check in with students on their progress, maintain student/teacher relationships, and teach mini-lessons.
• Students will work with a combination of recorded videos and activities.
• Students in distance learning will still be able to pick up breakfast and lunch meals free of charge.
