Traditional Instruction
Students will be provided a high-quality education experience through daily instruction. Schools will strive to adhere to safety guidance while providing in person instruction each day.
Distance Learning Instruction
The use of technology to deliver daily instruction is an alternative option available to parents. Students participating in distance learning will be expected to participate in daily learning activities, assignments, and instructional sessions using technology. More information concerning grading, student workload, and expectations will be provided prior to the beginning of school.
Hybrid
- Some students may need to be both virtual learners and traditional learners. These will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
