Quick Reference Guide for Virtual Classes

Hybrid  Instruction

Hybrid instruction will be a combination of face to face and virtual instruction. (See Hybrid Grouping)  

Hybrid  Grouping

In order to accommodate social distancing measures, families will be divided into two groups (Group A & Group B). This will allow approximately 50% of the students to attend class at SULS on designated days (Monday - Thursday). All class instruction will be virtual on Fridays.

There may be school closures (3-5 days) if the school environment is determined to be a source of ongoing COVID-19 spread and/or the ventilation (HVAC) system fails. The closure(s) will be made by the SULS administration with guidance and expertise from the Region 2 Medical Director.

  • The master schedule will be maintained and followed on all days Monday – Friday.

  • Friday – Some courses (ex. Dual Enrollment) will require students to test in small groups at the university.

  • Instruction will be delivered synchronously and asynchronously based on grade/department and instructor. Additional information will be forthcoming.

  • The master calendar will be followed to the extent possible.

  • Attendance, instructional minutes, and state assessments are required.

  • Assignment deadlines and academic integrity will be maintained and enforced.

  • Cub Care will operate based on the Group A and Group B attendance days.

 Virtual Instruction

Students will receive instruction 100% virtually.  Teachers will provide live virtual instruction to students on a daily basis Monday through Friday.  Students will log on during a designated time to receive instruction from their teachers.  All schedules and times are posted on the school app and website to provide guidance.  A quick reference guide is also provided to assist with virtual class codes.  Virtual learning involves both synchronous and asynchronous learning to maximize the full virtual learning experience.

Communication

To keep families up-to-date with pertinent information, SULS will send out weekly callouts once a week, and bi-weekly there will be posts made to our social media pages(Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).  Parents will be kept informed using both forms of communication in addition to any FAQ’s that are deemed necessary.  

Attendance

Attendance will be determined using a combination of time logged in, daily attendance and any assignments, tests, and/or activities completed for the day.  It is required that students log on and participate in every class.  In the event a student is absent due to an illness, a doctor’s appointment or an emergency, he/she is expected to watch the recording of the lesson missed and submit the completed lesson on the next required day of attendance. If the student is absent one or more days he/she is granted one extra day for each day of absence to submit their make-up lessons.  All doctor’s notes should be sent to the front office so it can be placed on file.

The Learning Environment

•Teachers maintain social distancing guidelines and teach from one location in the classroom if possible.

• Desks will be arranged in rows with all students facing the same direction.

• High-touch surfaces will be cleaned multiple times throughout the day, including bathrooms.

• Face coverings should be worn in all areas of the school. This includes classrooms. Most importantly, face coverings must be worn during arrival, dismissal, and during any other transition within the school building, including the restrooms.
