Virtual Learning - Semester Switch
At this time, families are eligible to request to change the learning mode for their student(s) for the second semester of the 2021-2022 school year. Families that are currently enrolled in face-to-face can switch to virtual, and families who are enrolled in virtual can switch to face-to-face. If you do not wish to switch your child’s learning mode, no action is necessary.
Requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Submitting the form linked (below) does not guarantee a request will be granted. Requests will be reviewed by building and district leadership, and the parent/guardian will be notified. If approved, the change will be effective for the second semester (January 24, 2022 - June 10, 2022). Once a request has been approved, it will be for the duration of the second semester. Please carefully consider this semester-long commitment before submitting this application, as requests to change throughout the second semester will not be granted.
Additionally, please note that we have partnered with third party providers for the students’ daily instruction. We are utilizing Lincoln Learning for our K-6 students and Edgenuity for 7-12. A Fraser teacher will be assigned as your child’s mentor to help check in, keep him/her on track, and align the grading system with Fraser’s. The bulk of your child's instruction will be online and course content will be delivered by Lincoln Learning and Edgenuity. For younger students, a learning coach will be a critical piece in your child's success. The learning coach, at home, needs to support your child with daily instruction, content delivery, and technology. Please note, the District may change your child’s learning mode if appropriate academic progress is not met throughout the semester.
If you are interested in changing your child’s learning mode for the second semester, please fill out this application.
Enrollment Change Request Form
This application will close on December 17th. You will be notified by the District after the holiday break of your child’s application status and specific information will be provided about the switch at that time.
