■ In the Hybrid:
– Students are divided into the two learning groups.
– Sites will utilize an alpha grouping system focusing on a 50 – 50
equal number of students in each group.
■ Different last names living in the same household will be placed in
the same group, even across building levels.

education and English Language Learners or to balance learning
group sizes.Elementary Hybrid Option A: 6 Day A/B Rotation Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Monday Learning Group A Learning Group B Learning Group A Learning Group B Learning Group A Learning Group B In-Person In-Person In-Person In-Person In-Person In-Person Learning Group B Learning Group A Learning Group B Learning Group A Learning Group B Learning Group A Distance Learning Distance Learning Distance Learning Distance Learning Distance Learning Distance Learning • Continuous A/B/A/B Sequence until we return fully to in-person instruction. • 5 days of in-person instruction over two weeks. • Teacher prepares and instructs same lessons to A and B groups. • Teachers are not teaching both in-person and virtually at the same time as it is not feasible. • Targeted interventions increased with additional in-person day. • Maximizes days students are participating with in-person instruction. • Maximized Social Distancing/Maximized Face Covering/Minimized Cohorting.

Days in the Hybrid Model
■ Students will participate in distance learning two to three days a week. Students will
engage with learning tasks given to them by their teachers in a variety of ways:
– Assignments posted in Google Classroom.
– Assignments given to students when they are on-site with their teachers on
either their A or B rotations.
■ Students will be able to complete their distance learning tasks and assignments
generated in their in-person classes, at their own pace on these days.
■ Teachers are not teaching both in-person and virtually at the same time as it is not
feasible.
■ Mitigation through cohorting is minimized.What to Expect During Elementary HYBRID ■ Depending the Hybrid Option A or B, (2-3) days in person, (2-3) days independent distance learning. ■ 50% of students assigned to classes each day allowing for maximum social distancing. ■ Reduced Cohorting Mitigation as students are not with cohort daily. ■ Desks/tables facing one direction where possible. ■ Hand Washing/sanitizing multiple times per day. (Bus/Classroom/Restroom/Breakfast/Lunch/Recess) ■ Formative and Benchmark Assessments. ■ Specials provided. ■ Social Emotional Learning Lessons/Accommodations and Special Education Support Services provided. ■ Students report to classroom upon arrival to campus.
What to Expect During Elementary HYBRID (Cont.) ■ Controlled student movement throughout the campus. ■ Limit sharing of supplies - shared resources disinfected after use. ■ Scheduled visitors only – no classroom visits or volunteers. ■ Transportation will run regular routes each day. Parent pick-up/drop-off drivers stay in their cars. ■ Limited number of students utilizing playground at one time/Social distanced where feasible. ■ All staff and students are required to wear face coverings. ■ “Grab and Go” lunches will be available. Students will be social distanced in the café facing one direction. Breakfast procedures will be the same differentiated for the smaller group that participates in Breakfast purchases. ■ Lunches staggered to provide time between to disinfect tables and seats.

Drop-in Learning Assistance ■ As a continuation of the Executive Order, schools will continue to provide a supervised area of the school for drop-in learning assistance. ■ Drop-in Learning Opportunities will be made available by sign-up and maintain limited capacity. ■ To maintain social distancing on our buses for students who are scheduled for in-person instruction, parents will need to continue to provide transportation to and from drop-in learning assistance sessions.

Option D: Elementary Staggered Return
GROUP 1 – Preschool to Second Grade
■ Start September 14, 2020
■ 350 Classrooms of Preschool, Kindergarten, First and Second Grades are lower enrolled.
GROUP 2 – Self-Contained Students

■ WHY?
– Virtual Learning is not best practice for teaching and learning for Primary Grades and Specialized
Self-Contained Classrooms . Need constant supervision during instruction.
– Achievement Gaps start at these grade levels and if not closed will make it more difficult and require
extensive interventions in the future.
– Student groups maintain Maximized Social Distancing/Maximized Face Coverings/ Maximized
Cohorting 5 days a week as well as other safety measures established by Maricopa County
Health/CDC.
– Maximize use of staff and space –discontinuation of on-site Drop-in Technology access model.Option D: Elementary Staggered Return
