Distance Learning & Virtual Academy:

* If your child is required to quarantine please reach out to our school principal or attendance office at BLattendance@lvusd.org to obtain information about enrolling in LVIS (Las Virgenes Independent School) for the duration of your child's quarantine. The classroom teacher will send information on how to obtain missed classwork.

Virtual Class Meetings:

Virtual meetings will take place daily to provide synchronous instruction. Individual class links will be provided via email by your child's virtual teacher (which may be different than your child's classroom teacher).

Please begin to log in to your child's class Zoom session 5 minutes prior to start time to plan for delays.

Please dress appropriately for school during virtual meetings and encourage your child to behave in a respectful manner toward the teacher and fellow students.

Please do not allow your child to eat or play during class meetings.

Attendance and Grades:

Daily attendance will be recorded during the morning Zoom. Children who log in 20 minutes or longer after the start time of the morning Zoom session will be marked tardy.

Grades will be give based on effort and mastery of the CA Content standards

Virtual assessments will take place one on one and will result in a change of normally scheduled live class Zoom sessions. Parents will receive notice when assessments will take place.

Teacher Communication:

It is best to communicate via Parent Square or email.

Messages during normal school hours will be returned as soon as possible. Messages outside of school hours will be given a response within 48 hours.

Asynchronous Instruction

Students will engage in online platforms such as Lexia, Seesaw, Think Central and Raz Kids to receive teacher feedback on his/ her academic progress. These sessions are not live, but do provide important instruction for your child. Teachers may even pre-record lessons for students to watch at a later time.

Asynchronous instruction is not optional and is required daily.

Independent Work

Please make sure that your child is completing the work primarily on his/her own. Adults can help explain directions, refocus students when a distraction arises and prompt higher level thinking, but should not give the child the answers.
