Learning Options
Instruction this fall will begin remotely to distance online learning. There are two basic ways students will learn: synchronously and asynchronously. Synchronous instruction is teaching that involves live interaction with your child’s teacher or other support provider in real time. Asynchronous instruction is teaching and learning that happens not in real time. This could be watching a pre-recorded video, learning through a digital program, or working on an independent activity. Online learning is available through your child’s school.
