How Students Will Engage as Online Learners
Online students will follow the same schedule as students learning at Valley Southwoods. Students should plan on getting a link from their teachers to connect to each day's lesson. We do not expect students to be online the entire day but at least for 20-30 minutes during the first half of class. There may also be days when an online student doesn't have to log in if they have independent work can do without direct instruction. All online students will need to have access to their teacher's Canvas course. That is where they will find links and information for the week.
