• What is an asynchronous day?
  • Asynchronous day is an instructional day.
  • Students do not have to log in at a specific time that day unless the teacher decides to do some small group instruction with the student.
  • Students may be given time to catch up any work they are behind on.
  • Teachers may assign pre-recorded lessons activities for students to access and complete when the student is able to.
  • Teachers may assign activities for the student to complete such as Dreambox.

Update Regarding Reopening School Campuses

On Tuesday, September 22nd, the Wake County Board of Education was provided an update regarding the reopening of school campuses for students who have opted for Plan B.  While the update does not commit to a specific date or details, it does provide the conditions for reopening our buildings. The district is proposing a target date of Oct. 26 for students who have opted for Plan B to return to in-person instruction. Schools using modified calendar schedules and specific groups of children could begin sooner. A detailed plan will be presented to the school board in the next two to three weeks for approval from the Wake County Board of Education. Read more.
