Elementary School
Instructional Program
Students at the elementary level will receive similar academic programming as their peers attending physical elementary schools, but through a virtual environment. Some specialist classes like physical education, art, and music may be modified in order to create virtual learning opportunities. Learning will occur through a blend of daily live virtual lessons, video tutorials, and independent activities. Students and teachers will engage in learning through the use of Seesaw. Learning activities in grades K-2 will be incremental skills based while the learning in grades 3-5 will be subject area based.
