Virtual Learning Days
January 6th and 7th
Students will follow a block schedule. This will show in the Calendar in Infinite Campus.
Thursday, January 6 will be Odd Periods (1, Flex, 5, 7)
Friday, January 7 will be Even Periods (2, 4, 6, 8)
No work will be posted on Virtual Learning Days for Enrichment or FlexTime.
New Mitigation Strategies to Expect
- All students and staff will be encouraged to Mask Up, Wash Up, Back Up and Cover Up.
- Cafeteria capacity will be reduced to allow for spacing between students at lunch. Students will eat in classrooms or cafeteria on alternating days.
- To reduce the number of students in the hallways, students will be expected to report directly to class upon arrival at 8:30 or from buses.
- Beginning on Thursday, January 6, students should follow a Block Schedule with Odd Days (1, Flex, 5, 7) and Even Days (2, 4, 6, 8). The Block Schedule allows us to build in more time for transitions between classes to reduce the number of students in the hallway at the same time. This will last until Thursday, January 20, 2022.
- Thursday, January 6 will be an Odd Day
- Friday, January 7 will be an Even Day
- Friday, January 21 will be an 8 Period Day
