If parents choose the reduced capacity, In-Person model, their child will attend classes at school two days a week and participate in online learning from home three days a week. View a sample In-Person schedule here.
To minimize class sizes, students will be divided alphabetically into two groups. Students with last names beginning with A-K will be assigned to Group 1, and students with last names starting with L-Z will be assigned to Group 2. Group 1 will attend in-person classes on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, a teacher will lead online instruction and engage with students virtually from home. On Thursday and Friday, students will access and engage with independent online curriculum, lessons and tools with limited teacher interaction. Group 2 will attend in-person classes on Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday, a teacher will lead online instruction and engage with students virtually from home. On Monday and Tuesday, students will access and engage with independent online curriculum, lessons and tools with limited teacher interaction. On independent virtual learning days, students are expected to be actively learning during school time. Depending on COVID-19 exposure levels in the community at the end of the first quarter, SPS may consider increasing the number of days In-Person students attend classes at school. Conversely, students may be required to do full-time virtual learning at any time due to changes in conditions at school or in the community.
