Opportunity to Change Learning Selection for Your Student Coming Sept. 23rd!
Beginning Wed., Sept. 23, families who would like to change their selection of instructional learning model (in-person or virtual learning) may do so by completing an online questionnaire that will be published on our website and on our social media platforms next week.
Families will have until Sept. 30 to submit their change. Only families wishing to change their current learning model selection need to complete the online questionnaire.
Families are reminded that a selection of virtual learning for the second grading period means a commitment to remain in that learning model for the complete grading period.
For more information regarding the instructional learning options and commitments for both, please visit our Back to School webpage.

How Does My Student Get Attendance Credit in Virtual Learning?
Present Remote Asynchronous (RA): A student must be marked Present Remote Asynchronous once they ENGAGE with the coursework for that same day through any one or more of the following measures:
Teacher/student interactions that same day (includes synchronous learning during scheduled times)
OR
Completion and submission of an assignment or task by the student on that same day (until 11:59 p.m.)
OR
Demonstration of progress that same day (as determined in Schoology)
