Blended In-person/Virtual Students A|B Groups

Blended In-person/Virtual Schedule

When group A attends school in-person on alternating days in a week, Monday/Wednesday/Friday and group B attends school in-person on Tuesday/Thursday. The following week, Group A attends Tuesday/Thursday and Group B attends Monday/Wednesday/Friday. By alternating every other day, the goal is for students to have more frequent face-to-face instruction with teachers and avoid long breaks before they see their teacher(s) in-person again. On the days when students are not in-person, they are participating in virtual learning online working more independently. 2020-2021 Academic Calendar

Virtual Days

Students are encouraged to participate in virtual learning assignments on their alternating virtual learning days. When students are participating independently in virtual learning, they may be engaged in an online Zoom/Google Meet, completing assignments in Google Classroom, watching a lecture/video and taking notes, completing a reading, Khan Academy or IXL activities, or Edgenuity course modules.

Teacher Office Hours

Office hours for contact via Google Meeting, telephone, or other communication devices will be during teachers' planning periods. Teachers will communicate learning objectives, assignments, and office hours via Google Classroom and email. Email your teacher directly about class assignments. If needed, consult a guidance counselor about an issue. If the issue persists, contact an administrator for support.
