Frequently asked questions

A continuous and consistent learning environment is best for student success. However, we understand that parents and students might have compelling reasons to seek a transition from one option to another, so we will provide opportunities to do so when available.  For the sake of continuity, once an option has started, transfers from one learning option to another would be best after the completion of the approved semester session.  Unique circumstances will be handled on a case by case basis in partnership with the assigned school. 

Core classes will be available under both options. The Meade County School District's  MyMEADE Online will have a selection of electives. These may differ from courses available in the Traditional Model. School staff will customize a quality, individualized plan for each student.

A desktop, laptop, or Chromebook will be required and an internet connection will be necessary at home. Families needing support should reach out to their assigned school for information on obtaining assistance for technology needs. When you select your option you can indicate whether you have access to the internet.

The MyMEADE Online virtual learning model is a blended learning model . MyMEADE Online will incorporate many of the features that parents and students valued, such as regular virtual real-time interaction with teachers during the normal school day. Parents can rely on teachers to assist and guide virtual student learning based on individualized student data. Students will have scheduled times, synchronous class meetings from time-to-time, and digital resources and assignments that can be completed at home. A large portion of learning will also be personalized, targeted learning objectives to improve student outcomes that can be completed outside the "normal" school day.  This learning model provides families the flexibility to choose an instructional model to meet their needs during these uncertain times, and reflects our district’s commitment to providing a high-quality instructional experience, no matter what the setting. 

Because MyMEADE ONLINE  is a public school choice, students must participate in all required state assessments. Students will be required to report to a school campus for State Assessments. 

All students attending  MyMEADE Online will have access to many accommodations that naturally occur in the virtual setting. In addition,  MyMEADE Online may be able to provide additional accommodations per a student’s IEP or Section 504 Plan if the accommodation(s) is/are applicable to the online educational environment. Please note that some accommodations may not be possible to implement in the online educational setting. 

YES - meal opportunities will continue for MyMEADE Online virtual students for both breakfast and lunch. Families will be able to pick-up from various locations on an identified schedule. Additional information will be available soon.  

Typically yes. Students will have flexibility and can "catch up" on their course work but should still submit an excuse note from a parent or medical provider for any date they will not complete school work.  If the student will have an extended absence, MyMEADE Online staff should be notified in advance.

Health and safety is always a priority for any student. In any serious situation, medical professionals should be consulted on how to approach school work. Virtual students that are quarantined but not sick can continue their normal MyMEADE Online assignments.
