    Update 8-26-20

    School will look different than it did last spring.

    There will be a variety of learning models based on the COVID-19 trends in our area:

    • In-person Learning (at school)
      • 4 days/week physically in the classroom getting instruction Periods 1-7

     

    • Hybrid Learning (students in grades 7-12 will begin the school year in this learning model)
      • 2 days/week physically in the classroom getting instruction Periods 1-7
      • 2 days/week at home virtually in the classroom (via Zoom) Periods 1-7

     

    •  Distance Learning (virtual from home)
      • 4 days/week virtually in the classroom (via Zoom) Periods 1-7
      • Devices will be distributed prior to the start of school (details will be posted on the District website).
      • This learning option is available to families throughout the school year regardless of what learning model the District is in.
      • Students may change to/from distance learning during academic breaks (quarterly for PRHS students). Exceptions need approval from building principals.

     

    Expectations for grade 7-12 students in all learning models:

    • All students will have the same class schedule and receive the same instruction each day whether they are learning at school or from home.
    • All classes will be taught virtually so students learning from home can ‘attend live’ via Zoom.
    • All students will be required to attend their classes, participate in discussions and complete assignments each day.
    • Daily attendance will be taken for all students and regular attendance policies will apply.
    • Class attendance and participation will be 25% of the class grade.

     

    There will be technology sessions the first week of school for all students designed to help them learn to:

    • operate in Google Classroom (including how to access and turn in assignments).
    • contact teachers using Google Hangout.
    • log on to Zoom (video communications) for virtual (from home) learning.
