Superior School District To Offer Virtual Option In The Future; Starts With 21-22 School Year
A concession to the COVID-19 Pandemic looks like it'll become a permanent option. After offering a virtual learning option to it's students for half of the last (2019-2020) and all the current (2020-2021) school years, the Superior School District has announced that they will offer virtual learning for the upcoming school year (2021-2022) that starts this fall; additionally, this virtual option will also be offered for the foreseeable future.
According to information released by the Superior School District, the virtual learning option would look like this:
- Enrolled students would receive live, online instruction five days a week - with some additional independent learning.
- The grading would meet the district's "Standards-Based Curriculum" standards and would be administered by teachers from the Superior School District.
- Important elements of the learning plan would still be offered - even in the virtual setting. "K-5 students will have access to art, music, and phy ed instruction".
- Virtual students would also have access to support services. Special Educators, Counselors, and Related Service Providers would be a part of the package.
- Technology is included. Enrolled students would be given "District devices" and would have access to tech-support.
- Even though students would be enrolled virtually, they would be able to participate in on-site extra-curricular activities.
While the virtual option was born out of necessity and may have seemed like something that was a "patch" to carry-out education while the pandemic necessitated staying home, it became a powerful option for many students and many families. Some students excelled at the chance to learn from home - outside of the usual classroom setting.
