[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, for clarity:

K-2 hybrid means kids come in two days a week and are spread between 2 physical classrooms.  The teacher is in 1 rom half the time while the assistant is in the other room.  On their home days, those students are taught by the same teacher online.  Families who chose virtual will have a virtual only teacher.  Some students will change teachers.

3-5:  Hybrid means kids will still be in person two days a a week, but the class will be split into two in-person groups so they aren't using 2 physical classrooms for each group.  On home days, the in-person students will be taught online along with the rest of the class (hybrid or virtual) by the same teacher who is teaching everyone at the same time.  The teacher may or may not be in the building.

Do I understand this correctly?  If so, it sounds like a physical space problem as much as a staffing problem.  It sounds like more families in the upper grades chose hybrid than expected and there just wouldn't be space for the same model as the k-2 plan.  I know my school has zero extra classrooms, so this doesn't surprise me.[/quote]

At our school, each class 3-5 will have a hybrid group and a virtual group. The same teacher will teach both groups at the same time. The hybrid kids will be at school in one room (possibly with the teacher but the teacher might also be at home) and the virtual kids will dial in. The other two days a week will essentially be the same as they are now with everyone at home. We can’t use the relocatables so 4th and 5th will share classrooms (one grade level coming Tues-We’d and the other Thurs-Fri) They are apparently needing to use every assistant and extended day staff member just to staff the pre-k through 2nd hybrid program so it for sure sounds like more of a staffing issue.
