Goals Student Safety Maximum Instructional Time Equitable Environment

Two Days at School Model Blended/Hybrid Model ● 40% In-person Instruction ● Consistent schedule for ● Consistent families schedule for ● Preparation time families for teachers ● Preparation time for teachers ● Less contact with ● Less contact school with school ● 40% In-person Instruction

AM/PM Model Blended/Hybrid Model ● 40% In-person Instruction ● 40+% In-person ● Consistent Instruction schedule for ● Regular contact families with school ● Preparation time for teachers ● Challenge for working parents‘ schedules ● Less contact with ● Doesn’t allow for school cleaning between classes (Middle/HS)

Impact by Grade Span ● Elementary K-5 - TK/K AM/PM model five days per week - 1 st -5 Two days per week, all day or AM/PM for 5 days ● Middle 6-8 - Two days per week, all day or AM/PM for 5 days ● High School 9-12 - Two days per week, all day or AM/PM for 5 days

Impact to Special Education ● Hybrid Models ○ Both models would allow for daily interaction as needed

Adjustments ● Fewer classes at a time ● Secondary ○ Scheduling Consideration for Hybrid or Distance Learning Model - 4x4 ■ Simplifies distance/blended learning for students ● Increases opportunities ● Change ● Students will need to add classes
