Jamestown  (CSi)  St. John’s Academy is adapting well to changes in learning brought on by school classes being held on line through distance learning.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Principal Jeff Trumbauer said that St. John’s Academy had in place the on line learning curriculum a week before state Department of Public Instruction mandate, with St. John’s Academy having the curriculum in place on March 23.

He said the teachers and staff are credited with the rapid transition, and thanked parents and students for adapting to the distance learning from home, process.

He said a virtual dashboard on line was created, for each grade level.

Jeff said that the distance learning on line classes are being revised regularly.

He pointed out that the “Summer Express,” summer learning  program with projects  is still be planned, whether virtually or being postponed, with in person students and staff is yet to be decided.

In place of a sixth grade graduation, plans may include and Ice Cream Social, where the graduates can meet and get together, yet to be decided.
