King’s Way Christian pivots to distance learning during weather event

Final exams are next week, and school officials did not want to lose instructional time due to inclement weather

Calling it a “silver lining” of the pandemic, administrators with King’s Way Christian Schools have taken lessons learned during COVID that has helped students deal with the chaotic weather this week.

With several inches of snow, cold temperatures, and freezing rain, much of the region has been shut down this week. That includes school campuses.

But high school students at King’s Way are still learning — from home.

In 2020, schools had to pivot to distance learning. King’s Way Christian administrators have done the same this week, preparing their students for final exams next week.

“KW was able to adjust from in-person instruction to distance learning this week,” wrote Jason Tindol, the superintendent. “Teachers, support staff, students, and families adjusted well to the ‘pivot.’”

He credited Allison Hillstrom, the high school’s principal, and the entire King’s Way family, for their ability to adapt, using distance learning to keep students on track with learning and not losing instructional time.
