Digital Learning Day The 18-19 GCPS calendar includes 2 make‐up days in case of inclement weather. GCPS also has the option of using Digital Learning Days to allow learning to continue when schools are closed. If school is cancelled, students, parents, and staff will be notified via SchoolMessenger whether it’s a day off or a Digital Learning Day. How does Digital Learning Day work for students? Teachers post assignments on My eCLASS course pages. High school assignments: posted by 8 a.m. Middle school assignments: posted by 10 a.m. Students log in to My eCLASS to see assignments. Teachers will be available to help students throughout the day. Students have 2 days for each day missed to complete and turn in assignments. What if something goes wrong on Digital Learning Day? Teachers will be available to support students. If power or Internet is out, a student may access assignments when it becomes available. Students can access My eCLASS from any device. If a student does not have access to a device, the student will receive makeup assignments when school resumes. Students will have 2 days for each day missed to complete and turn in assignments.
