Our Hybrid Learning Program is designed to provide access to learning for those students and families who face emergencies beyond their control. To access this program, parents and/or students must request permission in advance from the Middle School Office so that we can assist and ensure clear and timely communication with our teachers who will be offering this flexibility. Requests for Hybrid Learning will be considered by the Middle School administration under the following conditions:

• Visa delays

• Relocation to the UK

• At the discretion of the Head of Section, exceptional medical circumstances requiring specific procedures, recovery, or follow-up treatment off-campus, supported by a medical certificate

Requests for Hybrid Learning will not be considered for sick days, medical appointments, or holidays outside of term time. For these and other non-emergency situations, a student can complete tasks and catch up with classwork through materials left on the LMS and Google Classroom.

If you are in an emergency and need to request Hybrid Learning, please contact the Middle School by email: msoffice@tasisengland.org

If the School closes due to circumstances beyond our control (such as extreme weather conditions or significant power outages), information regarding access to online learning will be sent out by the School. Communication will follow a three-step process:

• Day 1: On the first day of school closure, the School will communicate optional work opportunities.

• Day 2: Should the School remain closed for a second day, asynchronous learning will be provided. In Upper and Middle School, students will be able to follow classwork through Google Classroom according to their usual schedule. In Lower School, learning tasks will be shared by the class teacher.

• Day 3: If the School is closed for three or more days, we will move to a synchronous hybrid program in which live virtual classes will be provided according to the student’s schedule.
