Currently, MS students are following Virtual School (VS) schedules using the order of periods from Day 1 and Day 2 schedules. This will stay the same next week, as well.
Upcoming Schedule Shift starting August 30th
Next week we will communicate with students about the details of a change in the order of periods, starting the week of Aug 30th to Sept 10th (including a video tutorial).
In keeping with our VS Community Handbook, we periodically change the order of of class periods, so that different classes meet at different times. This positively impacts learning by providing more equitable access to the learning. With the current situation of many students accessing VS from other time zones, changing the order of periods will allow for live attendance of classes they had previously only been able to study asynchronously.
Therefore, we are providing advance notice that starting on August 30th, MS and HS will adjust to follow the order of periods from Days 5 and 6, as listed below. This change moves the two classes previously in the afternoon to the morning and the two classes that were previously in the morning into the afternoon.
Advisory would continue to meet on Monday, Thursday, and Friday at 8:30. Class periods start at 9:00 AM on all days of the week. Again, this doesn’t start until August 30th.
We will explain this shift to students next week (the change doesn’t happen until the week after), but we are just providing parents with some advance communication, since the next parent eNews isn’t until next Friday. Students will be provided updated schedule links.
