Teaching and Learning
We will do everything within our power to meet the academic, social-emotional and safety of our students throughout this year regardless if we are in-person or distance learning.
Students will be in four different classes on the days they are scheduled to be at school; ELO, 2 Core Classes and 1 Elective Class. This will help reduce the number class transitions and the number of student groups an individual student may be interacting with throughout the day. Classes are blocked – 2 hour core classes and a 90 minute elective.
In an effort to reduce the number class transitions, limit the size of classes and the number of student groups an individual student may be interacting with throughout the day, we will be grouping our students by last name (this keeps families on the same schedule) and following an A Day/B Day Block schedule.
A Days will be Monday and Thursday
B Days will be Tuesday and Friday
Wednesdays will be remote learning days at home for all students.
Students will follow the same schedule regardless if we are in this blending learning model or if we go to a full distance learning model at any time during the school year.
Student support services including Literacy Support, GT Services, English Language Development and Special Education Services and Mental Health Services and Support will be in place to meet student needs to the best of our ability.
In an effort to limit student contacts, there are no field trips, assemblies or large gatherings for the first semester.
Students will be utilizing Google Classroom as a support for learning during the instructional day. Our teachers will be using Google Classroom to support learning whether we are in person learning or if we move to a distance learning platform at any time during the school year.
We want to support families in using Google Classroom at home, so please be looking for our upcoming Family Academies for using this great tool to support your student(s).
