Back to The Roadmap: FAQ

Q: Will students be assigned a homeroom teacher if they do virtual learning, or will there be one specific teacher that will do all virtual learning classes?

A: Middle school students will be assigned a homeroom teacher. Until we know how many students are doing virtual learning, we do not know if one teacher will be the contact teacher for the grade or discipline.

 

Q: How will the high school work to ensure fair and equitable managing of testing and grading between virtual and on-campus students?

A: Canvas (our LMS) will allow our teachers to monitor assessments both in class and online. Our teachers will be setting up tests, quizzes, and other forms of assessment in such a way to examine both sets of students equally.

 

Q: I have a high schooler and middle schooler. If middle school is staying in their classroom until called over the radio, can my high schooler ask for my middle schooler and take them to the high school car line in the afternoon?

A: Yes, they can go to the Receptionist desk and have your middle school student called down to meet your high school student.

Q: Are masks required during PE?

A: No, they are not required while students are exercising.

 

Q: In looking at the orange phase on the roadmap it looks as though 7-12th grade resource students will still be able to be on campus 5 days. Is that correct?

A: Yes, that is correct. We know the support is important for them and plan to have proctors for them on the days they would otherwise be at home. All 7-12th grade students will follow their daily schedule. A resource student will meet with their resource teacher at their scheduled time.

 

Q: If kids will be learning virtually, are uniforms required?

A: Students in the virtual campus will be reporting to class as if they are on campus, so we are asking for them to wear an SBA polo which will be seen on campus. They do not need to wear chapel attire since we are not gathering in a large group for chapel at this time.

 

Q: Will there be clear shields around students' desks?

A: Some desks or tables within the classroom will have plexishields. Other desks will just be physically distanced.
