[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only know 1 family at our entire school who plans to stay virtual. It’s paranoia though not a medical issue. I think you have a valid reason op. I would prepare yourself or your child for the fact that the fall will probably not be concurrent if you stay virtual. There will probably be a virtual class made up of kids from all over the county instead of just kids from your school. [/quote]

It better not be concurrent. No reason to require teachers to do that, should be small numbers not going in person and they can be grouped together. Or at least not requiring every teacher to do it. [/quote]

No concurrent in the fall - wasn't that said already? Even the schools are telling the kids (bc my MS kids came home and told me) that virtual will be completely separate next year.[/quote]

APS has already announced that virtual will be separate- you will not “attend” your neighborhood school virtually. Classes will be made up of other students in the county that chose virtual. Teachers will be all virtual and the program will have its own admin.[/quote]
Correct. The email to staff said there may be some limited concurrent in classes like AP/IB. 
" The program will be separate from the school of record with dedicated distance learning staff, allowing full focus on strong, fully optimized distance learning for all enrolled. APS will assign a dedicated administrator and staff to run the program, via an application process. Staffing will be based on enrollment, as determined by the family survey.
Students enrolled in the program will maintain connection and alignment with their school of record for reporting, attendance, counselors, sports and extracurricular activities, and graduation.
In-person workspace may be provided, as needed, to support a limited number of identified full-time distance learning students who need help connecting and academic and social-emotional learning (SEL) support."[/quote]

What else did the email to staff say? Parents know nothing here. Don't teachers hate concurrent?[/quote]
Yes most teachers hate concurrent which is why this is a good thing, particularly for elementary school. [/quote]
