Instructional Options
We are providing our families two learning options for the 2020-2021 school year:
Option 1: Full-time, face-to-face instruction for 5 days per week, with safety, disinfection, and physical distancing protocols.
Option 2: Full-time, remote instruction for 5 days per week. This type of instruction option will be provided ‘synchronously’ which is a two-way, real-time/live, virtual instruction between teachers and students, or ‘asynchronously’ which does not require having the teacher and student engaged at the same time. In other words, the teacher and students will connect throughout the day, but students have the ability to access and complete assignments within a flexible time frame. Teachers will determine which type of instruction is best for the subject.
Please note, if a family would like to change their selection, they must wait until the start of a new grading period. The written request must be approved by the school before the change can occur and must be submitted 2 weeks prior to the end of a grading period.
