100% DL Plan for Quarter 3

Because of health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, parents can continue to request that their child participate in 100% Distance Learning for at least 1 quarter at a time for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year.

Our total school enrollment is about 740 students. About 130 are currently enrolled as 100% Distance Learners or "Always Virtual." The priority of the school is to implement a blended learning plan (in-person and distance learning). As such, support for 100% Distance Learning is limited. (For more information, see Learning Models and Considerations)

Plan for Quarter 3:

1. Changes between learning models should be made at each quarter. However, changes can be made at any time on a case by case basis.

2. Students should continue to follow our recommended weekly plan for 100% Distance Learners.

3. Acellus Learning will continue as the primary curriculum source until the end of the current school year. The school will also be providing supplemental curriculum materials such as: iReady, Stepping Stones, iXL, HIDOE e-book library, and other units of study for science and social studies.

4. Satisfactory completion of Acellus courses will be counted towards promotion for the next school year.

5. Students will focus on the core subject areas of English Language Arts. Math, Science and Social Studies.

6. For students who are finishing or finished with current grade level courses, there are 2 options:

• Add 2 Elective Courses in Acellus

• Continue on to the next grade level courses for exposure and enrichment (not for promotion). If students have completed the coursework for their current grade level, school staff will enroll them into the subsequent Acellus courses for Quarter 3.

7. Grading and Report Cards: For Quarter 1, "SC" or "See Comments" was marked on official report cards with the Acellus Report Card attached. For Quarters 2, 3, & 4 - the school is still deciding on the best way to report progress. For example, students may receive "MP" or "meeting proficiency" if they are on track to complete Acellus coursework.

8. The Hawaii DOE is in the process of obtaining a different distance learning platform (other than Acellus). Students will be able to access this new program when it becomes available.
