However, while most high schools will keep the rest of the school home for the day off, Spring Lake Park will have its first ever "Electronic Learning Day" where students "will complete 20- to 30-minute exercises online for each of their courses," according to ABC News.

"With iPads in the hands of nearly every student for two years now, 'our students do a lot of these kind of activities already,' said John Franke, associate principal at the high school," according to the article.

The idea for the learning day was introduced to board members March 24, and educators will work with and not penalize students with limited or no internet access.

The online learning platform, Schoology, has been used by the district since 2014 and will be the system through which administrators assign activities to their respective students.
