Learning Options Update
We have strived to offer flexibility around the three learning options; however, some concerns have arisen with regard to our Hybrid option. Note that the virtual option is intended for as needed health concerns (quarantines, pre-existing conditions, etc.). In order to establish routines for student learning and out of respect for teacher planning, it is essential for students to have a consistent daily schedule. Now that we are approaching the end of quarter 1 (October 30), the decision to attend class virtually should not be used casually, as a trial, or out of convenience (ex. child wants to sleep in or try-out the virtual option for a day, etc.).
The goal when this “COVID” challenge is complete is to have all of our students back in our school. Most likely, the full virtual option will always be available. However, for now our plan is to eliminate the ability for students to attend one or two days virtually unless it’s due to quarantine.
In January, prior to the start of 3rd quarter, Lake Country School District will require students to sign up for one of the options for the entire 3rd quarter. The only exception to this will be if your child is signed up for in-person and your child must quarantine.
-
In-Person: Student attends in-person 5 days per week for the quarter. Only exception is if a student must quarantine.
-
Hybrid: Student attends in-person 5 days per week for part of the day in-person and the remainder of day virtual for the quarter.
-
Virtual: Student attends virtual 5 days per week for the quarter.
Virtual learners need a distraction free zone to focus on learning. In addition, households with virtual learners need access to a printer or a .pdf editor (Adobe, Kami, Lumin, etc.). Supplies set out for virtual students in the front lobby need to be picked up on a consistent and timely basis.
In-person and virtual learners must arrive on time (tardy bell) and be ready to learn. If your child is not in attendance, be aware that Google Meets cannot be recorded due to pupil privacy protections.
2020/2021 Learning Options
Lake Country School District is moving forward to safely open the doors for our students on September 1, 2020. As you read this webpage, keep in mind, Lake Country School District is offering three learning options this Fall: In-Person, Hybrid, Virtual. Families have the opportunity to choose which learning option is in the best interests of their child. Please take a moment to read our parent communications which are posted in the right hand column.
