Middle Level: Within Phase 3, with 2 days in-person learning, 2 days at home learning, and one day off, what considerations should we take into account?
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkWe decided to build upon the elementary plan at the middle level, considering that consistency would be important for families with students at both levels, as well as in K-8 schools.
Weeks would be split into Monday/Tuesday and Thursday/Friday classes.

Teachers will work in teams, instructing kids four days a week, as follows:
Full-day classes in-person, two consecutive days a week

High School: With our plan for Phase 3 at the High School level, what considerations should we take into account?
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkWe have more flexibility at the high school level.
Utilizing a cohort model, high schools will be able to schedule focused, small group instruction based on student needs. In addition to the in-person learning schedule, multiple online learning opportunities will be available each week for students to engage with their teacher on class-specific content and requirements.
You can imagine that this may include things like one-on-one support, group work, or labs and projects that can only be done at school.
