Leading with our portrait of a graduate

Especially during the time of a global pandemic, our students engage in a variety of experiences that foster creativity and curiosity, demonstrating the skills and dispositions needed to solve real-world problems and to become caring and productive members of the global community.

Through experiences that help students develop the competencies we hold in high regard in our Portrait of a Graduate, students actively work to become:

• Courageous Leaders

• Creative Problem Solvers

• Curious Critical Thinkers

• Empathetic Collaborators 

• Global Communicators

• In large part this is the  traditional model of education with students engaging in direct classroom instruction five days a week with their teacher. 

• In this model, students can expect potentially smaller class sizes to accommodate a six foot distance within the classroom

• They may engage in cohort style learning to reduce contact

• Collaboration with teachers and classmates will be in real-time with safety measures

Learner Roles and Responsibilities

• Monitor health and report if feeling unwell

• Mask when moving or when a 6 foot distance can not be maintained

• Sanitize space and wash hands often

• Respect space and wellbeing of classmates

• The Remote Learning option is available for families who do not feel that it is in the best interest of the student to return to Face-to-Face schooling. 

• Based upon decisions by each SBDM Council, students will likely engage in a virtual learning program selected at the school level.

• Students will be assigned a remote learning instructor who will help monitor progress and will periodically meet with students to offer assistance and support.

Learner Roles and Responsibilities

• Complete assigned Remote Learning path virtually

• Establish a quiet space at home to work daily

• Engage in learning activities remotely five days a week during regular school hours

• Meet with remote learning teacher periodically to check in

• Self advocate for assistance from remote learning teacher when needed

• Students will need reliable wifi connection and a quiet space to work

• NTI will be implemented only when the risk of COVID-19 is so high that it would severely impact the health and safety of the school community.

• Students taking advantage of  the Remote model of learning will continue with that program if the District moves to NTI.

• Students previously working in a Face-to-Face model will move to NTI where they will continue to work with their classroom teachers five days a week with content being delivered through Schoology or Seesaw.

• Students will engage in time-bound assignments and virtual Microsoft Teams meetings with their Face-to-Face teacher to receive instruction.

Learner Roles and Responsibilities

• Establish daily routines for learning

• Complete assignments and group work in a timely manner designated by the teacher

• Be proactive in communicating if additional support is needed

• Regularly monitor Schoology or Seesaw for work and announcements from teachers

• Complete assignments with integrity and academic honesty
