Cohorts for Plan B Students

 

On Wednesday, families who signed up for Plan B received an email assigning your student/s  to a cohort. You also received a link to a calendar. The cohorts were labeled differently than the calendar. They align as follows.

 A= 1

B= 2

C= 3

Please call the office if you have any questions. 

Students on VA do not need to do anything at this time. You will have an opportunity to make a decision later this month or early November  for January/Second Semester sign up of Virtual Academy or Plan B. 

 

Before and After School

 

Due to the current schedules, we have decided to postpone the opening of Before and After School until January 15th. 

 

Asynchronous Days = Remote Learning Days

 

The following days will be used for asynchronous learning. Asynchronous and Remote Learning Days are the same (just called by different names- some are chosen by WCPSS and others are required by the state). 

We will be providing students independent work to complete.  There will be no live instruction.  Teachers will have a brief class meeting on those mornings at 9:00 to give directions. Teachers will not be available after 9:20, since they will be in meetings and/or staff development. It is our  hope that this allows families the flexibility to complete work including unfinished assignments, and allow the grace to engage in some self care.

On teacher workdays or holidays no work is expected to be completed.

 

Dates are:

 

Wednesday, October 14th- Asynchronous 

Friday, October 23rd- Teacher Workday

Tuesday, November 3rd- Teacher Workday

Wednesday, November 11th- Holiday

Wednesday, November 18th- Remote Learning 

Monday, November 23rd-Remote Learning

Tuesday, November 24th- Remote Learning

Wednesday, December 2nd-Asynchronous

Wednesday, December 16th-Asynchronous

Monday, December 21st- January 1st- Holiday
