Students in the Blue/Red Hybrid model and Plan D students are encouraged to attend the daily LIVE Zoom calls each day they are home and learning online. Beginning October 12th, students that are home participating in online learning will have the option to attend the LIVE Zoom calls (synchronous) or do online work solely in Canvas (asynchronous) on your own time if your family is unable to participate in the LIVE Zoom calls. The LIVE Zoom calls are highly encouraged, but we realize that some families may find this challenging due to schedules and child care arrangements.
