[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was sent from the principal of Poolesville High School.  Sounds like supervised virtual.

[i] While much is still left to be decided, it is important to understand that the students’ experiences in the building will not look the same as it did before the pandemic.  We are so excited at the prospect of welcoming our students back, but that excitement comes with setting realistic expectations and understanding our limitations.  Most students who return partially to the building are coming in for support as a compliment to the virtual experience, and they will have adults available to supervise and support their virtual learning.  I will be transparent in our planning, and I will keep you updated with any logistics, schedule changes, and expectations.  I appreciate your patience and support as we design the virtual and in-person experiences for our students. [/i]

Supervised virtual (aka DL with babysitting according to my principal) is planned for my MS. Definitely not what we had in March. [/quote]
Meaning, there will be no live instruction in the classroom? Teachers will still be teaching from home and kids in the classroom will see them on screens?
That's not what I thought 'hybrid' entailed. In MS kids don't need babysitting, if that's what the plan is, everyone might as well continue DL from home.[/quote]

Not all teachers will be home. Those with ADA accommodations will be home. If so, an aide or a random teacher will babysit for safety reasons.

Others will be at school, but they will teach concurrently and thus everyone in the classroom will be working on a screen —following slides, typing on Google Docs, probably a lot of PearDeck since MCPS decided to purchase that over Nearpod (horrible choice!) just like the students in DL at home. Your child might be in a work group with students who are not physically in the same room. [/quote]
