Hybrid Learning Begins October 5th! Hybrid Learning Begins October 5th!

The School Board approved Hybrid Learning to begin on Monday, October, 5th. We are 'over the moon' excited to officially welcome our students back into the building on a regular basis! There are basically four modes of instruction:


  1. BLUE students (A-K):
    Attend school on Mondays and Wednesdays; Complete online learning Tuesdays & Thursdays; Participate in LIVE Zoom synchronous learning on Fridays
  2. RED students (L-Z):
    Attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays; Complete online learning Mondays and Wednesdays; Participate in LIVE Zoom synchronous learning on Fridays
  3. Plan D Students (Online Learning Only):
    Complete online learning Monday through Thursday; Participate in LIVE Zoom synchronous learning on Fridays
  4. Neshaminy School District Virtual Academy (Online Learning Outside of NSD):
    Enrolled through outside Virtual Academy; complete work online on your own time; Teachers are outside of NSD


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.

Albert Schweitzer Arrival/Dismissal Albert Schweitzer Arrival/Dismissal

Arrival and Dismissal is the same at Schweitzer for 20-21 school year. We have three ways for students to enter/exit the building during arrival and dismissal:


  1. Busser-Busses enter/exit the front entrance and students enter and exit using the front door of the building.
  2. Walker-Walkers enter/exit at the semi-circle to the right of the front entrance near the H-Wing.
  3. Car Riders-Car Riders are dropped off using the single lane drop-off in the morning in the back of the building. Parents are to enter Heartwood Turn to come to the back of the building. In the afternoon, cars park in the marked 'chutes.' Parents park their car and walk up to wait for their child(ren) at the back door next to the gym.


Maps designating arrival/dismissal procedures can be found here:
