The purpose of Level Five is to maintain instructional momentum when emergencies disrupt the ability to provide in-person instruction through virtual learning rather than extend the school year later into June.

Emergencies leading to a temporary shift to Level Five may include:

• Facilities system failures

• Water main break

• Power outage

Significant spread of Influenza-like illnesses:

• COVID-19

• Influenza A and B

• Weather related closings (Weather cancellations may be designated as traditional “snow days” with no school in session)

Safe learning levels adjusted as needed with multiple modes of communication to staff, students, parents, and community members.
