Learning Options

Dear Parents, 

We have been working carefully with our Curriculum and Digital Services Departments throughout the summer.  We have also carefully examined the parent and teacher feedback we’ve received. In response to that feedback, we have designed four learning options for students and families for the 2020-2021 school year. 

We are hoping to open under the moderate level of precaution as outlined in the Safe Weber Framework. However, should conditions worsen with the spread of the virus or health dept guidelines change, those decisions may be revisited. We realize that for some families, in-person instruction is not conducive to family health concerns.  We are prepared to offer flexible learning solutions to accommodate you and your child, as needed. Please refer to the Elementary and Secondary Learning Options attached. For more information, please call or email your school administrator.  Learning Options

We look forward to being part of your child’s education this year.

Respectfully, 

Cami Alexander - Executive Director of Elementary Education

Dave Hales - Supervisor of Elementary Education

Gina Butters - Executive Director of Secondary Education

Clyde Moore - Supervisor of Secondary Education

 

In-Person Learning offers the richest learning experiences to develop the whole child and is the preferred learning option for most students and families. Students attend class each day. In the event of a health concern, short-term flexible learning options are available for students to learn from home. Teachers provide learning experiences which ensure students experience the full depth and breadth of the Utah Core State Standards. Essential, important, and supporting skills are taught with a variety of evidence-based practices. Teachers and specialists also provide robust intervention and enrichment supports. Parents and/or guardians are responsible to regularly check in on their students’ progress and support as needed. Social interactions are structured to enhanced learning experiences while keeping students safe and healthy. Short-term Flexible Learning is a temporary solution for students who are attending in-person, but, due to health-related concerns, find it necessary to learn remotely for one to fifteen consecutive school days. Students work from home on assignments in English language arts, math, and science provided digitally by their assigned classroom teacher(s). Teachers provide online learning experiences that are focused on essential skills and include some teacher-student interaction. Parents and/or Guardians support students’ learning with the expectation they will return to In-Person Learning as soon as possible Long-term Flexible Learning is a quarter-by-quarter solution for students who choose a fully-online learning experience for at least one full quarter. Each quarter, families determine whether they will continue with Long-term Flexible Learning for the next quarter or return to In-Person Learning. Students work from home on assignments in English language arts, math, and science provided digitally by a classroom teacher. Teachers will provide online learning experiences that focus on essential skills and include some teacher-student interaction. An online advocate will be assigned to assist families with flexible learning. Parents and/or Guardians will be responsible to support and enrich the curriculum. Remote Learning is 100% online learning provided by Weber School District through the Weber Online program. Families must commit to this option for the entire school year prior to September 25, 2020. Students are Weber School District students, but will not be assigned to a homeroom teacher at the neighborhood school. A certified Weber Online teacher will regularly communicate with parents/guardians to support with technical and content questions. Parents and/or Guardians will serve as the child’s primary teacher
