2020 School Restructuring Discussion

Good morning.  Today we will be conducting a discussion around how our families would like to proceed with our education at DLA in the 2020 school year.  After discussing this topic as a group this morning, please have a discussion with your parents/family

   Talk about which of these models would fit your family best:
a. Continuing as we are now.  Zoom goal setting and instruction.  Little to no onsite contact.
b.  Meetings with the lead teacher only on site. (Once a week or once every 2 weeks.)
c. Class sessions with very small class sizes of 5-8 other students.
d. Class sessions with 9-15 other students.

Things to keep in mind:
1. 13-18% of Covid-19 positive people show no symptoms.
2. U.S. testing capabilities do not provide for daily, weekly, or monthly testing.
3. Vaccine will not likely be available for this school year.
4. Students who have successfully kept up with their work will most likely have freedom in their choice of instructional model.

   Once your family has completed the discussion please respond in comments as to which model above you would most likely like to follow next year.  Then, design your outline based on your entire families' wishes.  This outline is due by next Wednesday.  Please turn in to Google Classroom.  There will be no My Access submission.
