Virtual learning will be used in the event parents feel unsafe sending their child to school, a student is absent, or school closure occurs, a blended or virtual classroom will be available. Students will be provided a chromebook, chromebook charger and flash drive. The Lamar School District believes learning is best done on campus, face-to-face, and should be utilized by the students when possible. Specific guidelines for enrolling in this option will be provided at a later date.
Lamar School District’s Virtual Classes will be recorded videos, however, they will not be live due to streaming issues for students.
