When school buildings are closed, BCSC may implement a Virtual Learning Day (synchronous learning). A Virtual Learning Day is a structured, live instructional day. Students participate in real-time instruction with their teachers throughout the school day.
Unlike eLearning days, Virtual Learning Days require students to attend scheduled live classes.

On a Virtual Learning Day:
Students attend live classes using Google Meet at scheduled times.
Teachers provide direct instruction, discussion, and guided learning.
Attendance is taken in real time.
At least 50% of the instructional day is delivered through live instruction, in alignment with Indiana Department of Education requirements.
Assignments are typically expected to be completed by the next school day.
Students will follow a modified daily schedule. Specific schedules vary by grade level and school and are shared by each school. An overview of each school's schedule can be found on the Virtual Day Schedules page.

Attendance is taken during scheduled live sessions. For middle and high school students, attendance is taken during each class period. If a student is unable to attend due to illness or other circumstances, families should contact the teacher. If a tech problem creates difficulty when joining live sessions, the family should contact the Tech Hotline to receive support and next steps: 812-418-0252.
