If you do not have internet access at home, flash drives and Chromebooks will be used to deliver instruction to your child.
If your child attends hybrid instruction, he/she will be bringing their flash drives home on either Tuesday or Friday, depending on their cohort. These flash drives will contain work for three schools days and will be the virtual part of his/her hybrid instruction. All work must be completed by the first day that your child returns to schools on either Monday or Thursday.
If your child attends school virtually, it will be necessary to pick-up the flash drive on the designated by each child's school. Students must complete all work between the time the flash drives are picked-up from the school and the next day they are to be returned.
