Face to Face (On-site) Learning
If families choose this option, Sonora students will be back for on-site, face to face instruction on August 13th. The safety of children and adults is of utmost priority. Current guidelines can be located in the above links regarding the district plan. Additional information will be released closer to school starting. Onsite instruction would shift to remote learning in the event there is a school or classroom closure due to Covid-19. Remote learning will occur online. Students will be provided with technology and supplies in the event of closure. The district is currently working on a plan to support Wifi access as well.
Blended Learning
If your family chooses this option, parents will have a choice in how students engage in school. Students will remain on the current class roster. Parents will choose any combination of days for their child to attend school on-site for a minimum of two days per week. On the days the students are on-site they will be in class with their classmates for full on-site learning. On the days the students are learning remotely, Sonora teachers will provide daily classroom lessons in the Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS systems will be SeeSaw for K-2 students and Google Classroom for 3rd - 5th grade students. This might include self-guided lessons, live streaming video, virtual libraries, pre-recorded videos and/or discussion boards. A Sonora teacher would be available for office hours for students who have chosen blended model for the days they are learning remotely.
Virtual Learning
If your family chooses virtual learning, this will occur at Don Tyson School of Innovation (DTSOI) for kindergarten through 12th grade. Parents can enroll for virtual learning by semester. This opportunity provides curriculum with teachers that are on-site at DTSOI. As with on-site and blended, the learning will be personalized to meet student needs. The design of K-5 Virtual is not a student sitting in front of a computer working independently all day. When a student enrolls, there will be a parent meeting with a DTSOI representative to devise a plan that would meet your child's needs which includes 1:1 instruction with a teacher, small group instruction with a teacher, project-based learning and ongoing parent support.
