Dear Families,
Thank you for your patience as we have worked to clarify details on how schooling will take place in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our core competency as a school is in-person learning and based on our experience we feel it is the best option for all our students under normal circumstances. We are also aware of the unique situation we find ourselves in and are providing for a distance learning program for families who prefer it.
Our Distance Learning Program is not a direct replacement for the experience students would have if they were on campus but our plan attempts to approximate it to the best of our ability given that we are also supporting students in the classroom simultaneously.
Our approach is based on a synchronous model by which Distance Learning students’ expectations and daily activities will be closely aligned with their on-campus classmates. This helps to ensure a connection with their class and alignment with academic requirements while they are learning from home. We also aim to provide for a consistency of daily habits that will ease the transition back to class when the time comes.
To be part of the Distance Learning Program students and families will need to meet the expectations of the program outlined in the plan. This will require a careful evaluation of your ability to support your child as they take part in daily scheduled activities and class requirements.
Please note: At present we are only authorized to provide an alternative to on-campus learning for the first semester of the school year (Aug. - Jan.). If you are intending to have your child remain off-campus for the entire year, we may not be able to support them. Please get in touch with us so we can discuss your options.
Plans for your child's class are linked below:
