Hybrid: Frequently Asked Questions
Thursday, February 18
How do I find out my student's cohort?
To determine your student’s currently assigned learning cohort, please follow the steps below:
- Log into Infinite Campus Portal (browser or app version) (this information is only available in Campus, NOT Schoology)
- Click on DOCUMENTS in the menu on the left
- Then, click on FULL YEAR SCHEDULE
- The cohort will be listed at the bottom left of the schedule grid
Cohort A and Cohort B are in-person learning cohorts where students come to school two days each week. Digital Academy students stay home and Zoom into classes two days each week.
If your student is in the desired cohort, there is no action necessary.
*Please note: we are still making adjustments to trimester three schedules. Class periods may change.
How do I change my student's cohort?
- Students requesting to move from an in-person (Cohort A or Cohort B) to Digital Academy may do so beginning Friday, February 5, by contacting Student Services at 952-431-8218.
- Students who wish to move from Digital Academy to in-person learning for Trimester 3 may do so by completing this survey between Feb. 20th through Feb. 26th.:

If you are satisfied with your student's current learning model (Hybrid or Digital) you DO NOT have to fill out this survey.
Beginning February 22
What does the hybrid schedule look like?
Students in Cohort A and B attend AVHS two days every week. The daily schedule includes all seven class periods every day. Students in Cohort A attend on Mondays and Thursdays, and students in Cohort B attend on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Students in Digital Academy will attend classes via Zoom two days every week. The days they Zoom into class is determined by last name. Students with last names A-K should Zoom into classes on Mondays and Thursdays, and students with last names L-Z should Zoom into classes on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Wednesdays are intervention and enrichment days for all students.
What do "At-Home Learning Days" look like?
What time can students be dropped off on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday?
When do Seniors start attending in person?
The original plan was to only bring back students in grades 9, 10, and 11 on February 22, and seniors on March 8. The guidance at that time only allowed three grades to return to in-person learning at one time. Now that the state revised their guidance, there is no separate time table for seniors.
How will classes account for both in-person and zoom learners?
I do not want my student to return to in-person learning. What will change for them?
If your student is in Cohort A or B, please follow the instructions above on how to change cohorts and move your student to Digital Academy.
Will the plan for at-home meal kits change?
Elementary and secondary students will receive meals while in school, with additional take-home meal support for distance learning days and weekends. Please complete the ELEMENTARY TAKE-HOME MEAL form or the MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL HYBRID LEARNING TAKE-HOME MEAL form if you would like your student to have access to the additional meal supports.
Meals at school and take-home meals are free through special funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
