THAT may encompass several hours of independent (adult monitored) work every day for each kid. Please look into it and make sure they do not return minus several weeks of assigned work. That work may require timely online submission.

It is not school "time off" vacation, it is distance/online learning for specific subject/content material as an alternative to classroom time.
In Prince William County Virginia, my 11th grade grand daughter was sent home with no school work to do -- zip, zero, nada.
