HYBRID Classroom Model Roomers Zoomers ***The Hybrid classroom model will be gradually phased-in for our MFA students during the first three weeks of school.
Gradual Phase-In of Hybrid Instruction What will remote instruction look like for my student? Our youngest learners need time to build stamina for online, synchronous ● learning with their teacher/classmates. Over the first few weeks of school, we will increase the time spent during ● remote, synchronous instruction. Before school begins, packets will be available for pick-up at MFA, so students ● have paper-pencil activities to complete when not online. Students will also be expected to complete online activities that will be ● outlined on each teacher’s Google Classroom. Additional information will be shared with families over the next few weeks. ● Classroom teachers will share a “Screencastify” video with all families before ● school starts. Students will be able to see their teachers (without masks), classroom setups, and review classroom procedures/schedules.
100 % Remote Information 100% Remote Learning Guidelines: Any student with a request for remote learning must stay in that mode of ● instruction for at least one trimester. Parents/Guardians may request their child(ren) leave remote learning and ● transition to in-person learning after completing one trimester. These requests must be submitted in writing addressed to the building principal at least 10 working days before the end of the trimester (you will receive a correspondence from me prior to this deadline). If your child is on remote learning, they will have access to all services provided ● by the school (ex: counseling, related services, etc.). All students are expected to follow the Student Code of Conduct, directions ● from their teachers and school staff, and will be held accountable for all work.
100 % Remote Information (Transitioning) Transition from In-Person to Remote Learning Students can transition from In-Person Learning at any point during the trimester ● provided that remote learning is still occurring throughout the district. During the school year, parents/guardians may request that their child transition from in-person learning to remote learning. There may be a transition period of up to 10 days. There may also be a change to the teacher of record if necessary. Parents would need to notify in writing to the building principal that he/she ● would like their child to transition to remote learning. The building principal has up to 10 days to accommodate the request. The ● building principal must respond in 5 days to the parents request.
