How is virtual/blended learning different from traditional courses?
In virtual/blended learning, teachers and students interact through technology for some or all of the time.
Virtual learning is when all instruction for a course takes place through internet connected devices within the school building or outside of the school building.
Blended learning is when instruction for a course sometimes takes place in person and sometimes through internet connect devices. Either way, your child will receive instruction and support from a certified teacher.
Does my child have to participate in virtual/blended learning?
No. Students are not required to participate in virtual/blended learning if you do not want them to. If you do not wish to have your child enrolled in a virtual/blended course, they will be provided a full in-person program held in a traditional classroom setting.
The student will need to meet synchronously for all classes on Mondays using the school-issued, internet-enabled device and headset. From Tuesday through Friday, the student will work asynchronously to complete assigned coursework according to the schedule provided.
