10-12 Resources
Content Delivery for Grades 10 - 12 during Temporary At-Home Learning
Learning will continue with the student’s regular schedule as close as possible.
Existing electives/options will continue throughout the temporary online learning period.
Students will average six hours of work per five-credit course per week and average three hours of work per three-credit course per week. This is the total amount of time including video sessions, activities/tasks, check-ins, practice and assessments.
Students will be required to participate in a minimum of two live online sessions per week per course. These sessions are to be scheduled during the time-of-day students would normally have attended that class (e.g., Math 30-1 Zoom session held between 8:30 and 9:45 a.m. just like if they were face-to-face in school).
