6th-8th Overview

As we work on the implementation of all our safety measures including physical distancing the in-person environment will look a little different. The size of student cohorts will be no more than 11 students in a classroom. Students will remain with their cohort throughout the day working with one another and their teachers.

Students will have schedules to follow throughout the day where they will be working on their computers utilizing many different platforms and applications to complete work both synchronously and asynchronously. There will also be times where the assigned homebase teacher, who is part of the teaching team, will provide direct instruction. Students will also have time to collaborate with their peers while practicing physical distancing. There will also be opportunities throughout the day where the assigned teacher will take the students outdoors to learn outdoors or having time to socialize with their peers. As we have an abundance of space outside we will be able to spread out and give mask breaks to students.

Below is the general schedule and will remain in this site as a resource for you to refer back to. Your teachers will be communicating weekly with you on your detailed schedule.

*Please note synchronous learning refers to live lessons and asynchronous learning refers online learning that is not live

• In order for families and students to effectively prepare, on Friday (or the last day of the week), teachers will post the schedule of synchronous meetings in Google Classroom. This includes any required or optional whole-group, small-group, or individual instructional meetings.

• Students may schedule additional time with their instructor outside of the allotted course time as long as it does not conflict with required synchronous learning for another course.

• All synchronous learning will be recorded and made available to students who may have missed class or would like to review the lesson.

• The “Learning Support” time is a dedicated time for interventions. Teachers may request students to meet with them during this time for additional support or students may request to meet with a teacher during this time
