CHS Return To Learn
Face-to-Face vs Virtual Learning
2020-2021
As our Mustangs return to school on August 17, 2020 there will be two options for learning: face-to-face or virtual. When making this important decision it's critical that our Mustang community have all the information that is available to date. Please see below for specific ways in which face-to-face and virtual instruction will differ, followed by a short FAQ section.
Face-to-Face Instruction
- Classes held on the CHS campus & taught by CHS teachers
- Students move through their individualized schedule based on course selection and 4 year plans
- Lessons designed and implemented for students to master grade level TEKS, not simply complete a task
- Complete access to additional academic supports through dedicated instructional coaches, Next Chance U tutorials, individual teacher tutoring, etc.
- Student attendance will be taken during all 8 classes; CHS will follow both district and TEA guidelines
- Grading will follow the LISD grading policy - a minimum of 9 assignments will be graded and recorded, a 9 week district assessment will be given at the end of each grading period, and grades will be numerical with a 70 and above considered passing
- Increased safety protocols in place, including but not limited to: social distancing, face coverings are required in 4th grade and up, minimized touch points, additional sanitizing of surfaces, and no sharing of supplies/materials
- Micro-closure procudures will be enacted for students/staff who come into "close contact" with a person who contracts COVID-19
- A micro-closure is defined as a short shutdown, between 1 - 5 days
- Close contact is defined as being directly exposed to infectious secretions, or being within 6' for a cumulative duration of 15 minutes, while not wearing a mask
- No outside deliveries of any kind - this includes food deliveries to school
- All visitors to the building will be required to have an appointment
Virtual Instruction
- Students "attend" class virtually using the LISD student issued Chromebook
- Students are expected to "attend" all 8 classes, just as if attending face-to-face, following the CHS bell schedule
- Students are expected to turn in work every day and communicate with their teachers; students are expected to have both the microphone and camera on when in the Google classroom unless instructed otherwise by the teacher
- Classes taught by an LISD certified teacher, but not necessarily a CHS teacher
- On-level coursework will be completed using the Edgenuity platform
- For coursework not offered in Edgenuity students will be taught synchronously (2-way, real-time/live virtual instruction) through Google classroom on the Chomebook
- Some elective courses may not be available due to the Edgenuity platform not offering them
- Student attendance will be taken during all 8 classes; CHS will follow both district and TEA guidelines
- Grading will follow the LISD grading policy - a minimum of 9 assignments will be graded and recorded, a 9 week district assessment will be given at the end of each grading period, and grades will be numerical with a 70 and above considered passing

2020-2021
The information presented above is to help our Mustang community make an informed decision regarding instructional options as we near the start of the 2020-21 school year. The deadline to make a choice for the upcoming school year is August 3, 2020; however, if that decision can be made sooner that will help in our planning at CHS.
Please know that no matter which option you select CHS is here to support all Mustangs academically, socially, and emotionally. CHS is also committed to following all safety protocols in place.
