[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure how many times you can miss but I had received this back about the course.  But I do know it is very important to be at all the Drivers Ed classes as that is non-negotiable as you have to have so many classroom hours as that is regulated by the state.

The daily virtual 1-hour meetings are held between 8 am and 2 pm, but the times won’t be assigned until after June 10 (close of registration). On June 17, the teachers will email students and parents with details on how to start the course, including the assigned time for the daily meetings.

The approximate 5-6 hours of daily asynchronous activities includes

·       60 minutes of physical exercise (documented using a device capable of tracking their heart rate that they have access to or a downloadable, free app for their smartphone),

·       a reflection and analysis of their physical exercise, and

·       daily assignments/assessments (topics ranging from fitness, CPR(HPE9), driver education (HPE10), human growth and development (FLE)) aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning for Health and Physical Education.

Students must have access to a computer (not tablet or smartphone) for multiple hours each weekday to complete the required assignments and are encouraged to use their FCPS issued laptops.  If the student is a rising 9th grader, they can contact the high school they will be attending in the fall.

For HPE 10, the driver education curriculum will be taught by your child’s teacher and will cover all the requirements as outlined in the Standards of Learning.  You and your child will be required to attend a 90 minute synchronous session (will need to have cameras on), time and date TBD, to satisfy the Partners for Safe Teen Driving requirement for obtaining the DEC-8 pink card (needed before your child can take behind the wheel driving instruction.)

This sounds miserable. Give up a whole summer so they can have an elective? Weird.[/quote]

It’s not the whole summer. It is 4 weeks. And for some, it’s worth it to be able to access relevant classes and meaningful experiences during the regular school year. [/quote]

[b]And I'm pretty sure is pass/fail during the summer s[/b]o it's part of the MO for students and parents who are looking to maximize GPA and AP offerings.  [/quote]

This is incorrect.[/quote]

You can chose for it to be PF.  Source: my now senior did. [/quote]
