High school students will participate in a combination of synchronous and asynchronous instruction four days (Tues.-Fri.) each week, regardless of the delivery model selected.  Both Full-Distance and Hybrid students will interact with each other and their teachers four days each week. Hybrid students will attend school in-person two days each week. Teachers will instruct both groups of students using a blended learning model. This may mean that some students in school will receive instruction from a teacher who is remote; these students will be monitored and assisted in-person by classroom assistants. Mondays will continue as asynchronous learning days for all students, with time for teacher planning, small group interventions, and office hours.
