When circumstances prevent students from safely attending school in person, Durham Public Schools may implement Remote Asynchronous Learning. This approach allows students to continue their education from home using pre-prepared materials, printed learning packets, and communication with their teachers—without the need for live virtual classes. Our priority is to ensure that learning remains meaningful, accessible, and connected for every student, even during unforeseen disruptions. The information below provides guidance and answers to frequently asked questions to help families navigate remote learning days with confidence.

Brogden Middle School is committed to delivering high-quality, engaging learning experiences for all students, whether instruction occurs on campus or remotely. Our remote learning plan emphasizes equitable access to materials, clear and consistent communication, and ongoing support for academic success.

Brogden Middle School is committed to ensuring that all students—including Exceptional Children (EC) and Multilingual Learners (ML/ESL)—continue receiving appropriate support during asynchronous remote learning days. Our instructional approach prioritizes equity, access, and alignment with district expectations.

During Remote Asynchronous Learning Days at Brogden Middle School:

• Since we utilize a paper packet–only model, EC and ESL teachers will collaborate with general education teachers to ensure packets reflect students’ IEP goals, accommodations, and modifications.

• Packets will include previously taught content to support skill reinforcement and independent practice.

• EC and ESL teachers will provide individualized or small-group follow-up support using email, Rooms, or phone calls when families have access.

• When needed, modified or supplemental materials will be sent directly to students and families to ensure alignment with student needs.

• EC services will continue to align with the instructional requirements outlined in each student’s IEP.

• EC staff will follow up with assigned students through the most accessible communication method available to ensure ongoing support.
