SDOC Online Instruction

SDOC@Home is a remote instructional model that will look similar to a regular school day with live instruction throughout the day. This instructional model will accommodate students who may not be ready to return to face-to-face instruction due to COVID-19.

Unlike other online education options, SDOC@Home allows students to be taught by an SDOC teacher, facilitates a smooth transition back to a traditional learning environment, and allows students to still earn a diploma from their local high school.

1st-5th Grade

Students will receive instruction online utilizing a school-issued Chromebook, virtual instruction, technology programs, etc.

Middle School

High School

Students will receive instruction online in select courses, utilizing a school-issued Chromebook, virtual instruction, technology programs, etc. Those select courses can be viewed here.

*The district has ordered Chromebooks for Kindergarten students. However, due to high demands nation-wide for technology devices, the SDOC will not receive these Chromebooks until mid-September. Therefore, it is our hope to provide a true virtual option for Kindergarten students by the start of second semester.

Important Considerations When Making the Decision for SDOC@Home Instruction

SDOC@Home will operate on a specific schedule (sample instructional schedules are linked here). Students will receive daily face-to-face remote instruction from their teachers.
All instruction will align to the South Carolina College & Career Ready Standards.
Elementary and middle school teachers will use Google Classroom, and high school teachers will use Canvas to organize and deliver instruction.
In order for a student to be eligible to participate in SDOC@Home, parents must commit to their student(s) being a full-time remote learner in this program for the entire 2020-2021 school year.
SDOC will provide a device (ex. Chromebook) for learning in grades K-12. However, the family must provide both reliable access to the Internet and learner support from home.
Attendance will be taken for all remote classes, and participation is mandatory. Students must be in compliance with state attendance requirements. Truancy procedures will be initiated if the student does not attend.
Grading procedures and requirements will remain the same.
If any of the above requirements cannot be maintained, a student will need to be moved to the traditional (face-to-face) setting.
