Asynchronous Instruction:
Teachers will provide instruction separate from the face to face classroom lesson and provide
assignments for students to complete and submit the next day.

Students must login and participate virtually during regular classroom times in order to be
counted present for the day. Students will see and hear what the face to face classroom is doing
and be able to ask questions and provide input.
