Synchronous Classes

Classes will follow a bell schedule, and attendance at a Google Meet is required each day. The schedule will follow a typical LCPS elementary schedule. Teachers will facilitate learning using Schoology as the primary learning management system and other tools and instructional methods, as determined by the teacher. Students complete weekly assignments, readings, discussions, and group work, as well as exams and other activities designed to enhance learning outcomes, all at times that are determined and communicated by the teacher.
