High School

Mode

  • As of Tuesday, January 19th, students in Grades 8 will start in-person learning on Monday-Thursday.
  • Beginning on January 26th, students in grades 9-12 will start a hybrid model. Pods were communicated via email.
  • All students in Grades 8-12 will be remote on Friday.
  • Beginning on Friday, January 29th, our Friday schedule will be changing. We will have classes in the morning followed by Community Meeting, lunch, advising, clubs and then office hours. Office hours with teachers are daily from 3-3:30 and from 2:30-3:00 on Friday.  
  • We will try to give you as much notice as possible if any of this changes.  

Pods

  • Pod A - attends school in person on Monday and Tuesday
  • Pod B - attends school in person on Wednesday and Thursday
  • All students - attend school remotely on Friday

Class Meetings 

Class Schedule

  • The hybrid schedule (below) is similar to the one we followed when we were in-person in the fall. All students and staff will continue to be remote on Fridays in the near term.
  • You will note that classes are held every other day for a 90-minute block.
  • Each class will be segmented up with different types of teaching and learning (e.g. reading, discussion, group work) happening during each segment.
  • Students will have time to work on practicing skills during these blocks and there will be very limited homework during online learning.
  • Exceptions are practicing math skills using IXL and practicing vocabulary in world language classes. 
  • Students will be held accountable for the work they do during class and on assessments and demonstrations of learning. If a student is not on task or able to be productive during class time, the teacher may give students a chance to work on and pass in work the next day.

 Beginning on Tuesday, January 26th, we will follow the schedule below until further notice.
