Remote Learning FAQs

What does remote learning look like?

Each building will be working with their students who have chosen to remain fully remote. Communication will be sent out by the buildings about this.

Some buildings may have to move students to different teachers. Some buildings/teachers may be recording their lessons while others have students login to view the lesson live. Again, the buildings and teachers will be communicating to the remote learning students what this will look like.

All remote learning students will have virtual meetings and a set schedule on Fridays.
