Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI)

  • The State of Missouri has approved Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI), such as virtual learning days, to be utilized in circumstances of emergency or extended closure for the purpose of review and reinforcement of previously taught skills and/or the continuation of current learning. Electronic and/or web-based assignments and materials will be utilized for AMI and students will have access to District-provided devices and hotspots when available. When possible, hard-copy assignments will be provided as requested.
