General Information

For fall 2020, International Languages classes will take place in a secure, virtual environment, consisting of synchronous and asynchronous learning.

Weekend classes will return to in-person instruction in physical classrooms once is it deemed safe to do so. 

Weekday and lunchtime classes will continue online for the duration of the 2020-2021 school year. 

VIRTUAL CLASSES

Due to COVID-19, International Languages classes will take place in a secure, virtual environment consisting of:

• Synchronous learning – Engaging and interactive virtual, live class time with an IL instructor and fellow students (Google Meet or other interactive online applications) . 
• Asynchronous learning – Engaging activities provided by the IL instructor to be completed by the student online and off-line (assignments/projects, group work). 
• A combination of oral communication, reading and writing in the target language. 
• Inclusive practices that continue to be practiced through instructional strategies and communication with parents and students for an equitable and accessible environment.
• If a student would like to participate in more than one class (ex. both morning and afternoon), the second class must be in a different language or subject to non-funded status.
• As always, parent/guardian support is encouraged.
