Will I be able to transition back to my building during the year?

YES! While we would like families to commit to the WC Cyber Program for one year, we know that these are not normal times. Because of that, if / when you are ready to return to your building we will be able to transition you back to your

• building. We would aim to do this at a natural point, such as a marking period

transitions or vacations.

How is WC Cyber difgerent than Emergency Remote Learning?

The WC Cyber Program is part of the WCASD Strategic Plan and has been in development for quite a while. This extensive planning has enable the district to build a strong foundation that includes teachers who have applied to be part of the program. These teachers have received extensive professional development, specific to teaching in a cyber environment.

What if we have another Extended Emergency Closure?

In the event of another extended closure, students in the cyber program will remain in their cyber classes, undisturbed by the need to close our buildings. Students who are in our buildings will need to transition to online learning as well, rostered in their existing classes with current teachers and peers. As compared to the Spring 2020 Closure, our students will experience more synchronous learning, with higher expectations. Teachers will continue their instruction and meet all curricular expectations and students will receive grades.

Who will be my child’s counselor as they prepare for college?

Students will remain enrolled in their building, and will therefore have access to the support of the same counselor they have had in previous years. Incoming freshmen will be assigned to a counselor, just as they are in our buildings and will continue to work with that counselor through graduation.

How will Honors / Accelerated Honors courses be difgerentiated?

In courses, such as Social Studies, where students are learning the same content, but provided difgerent learning materials and assessments, they will be heterogeneously grouped. Students who display their learning above grade level will be able to earn Honors / Accelerated Honors credit. Other courses, such as mathematics, are more homogeneously grouped, based on the sequencing of those courses. Students who display their learning above grade level will be able to earn Honors / Accelerated Honors credit.

How will science labs be conducted?

The WC Cyber Program will include student activities and laboratory explorations that engage students in the process of science and the scientific

• method. These processes are an integral part of the K-12 WCASD science

curriculum and will be facilitated in the online environment in a variety of formats.

• Physics Educational Technology (PhET) - University of Colorado
• Gizmos - Explore Learning
• Additional Open Education Resources for online labs
