BJH Virtual learning updates
Dear Bayless Families,
The Bayless School District is committed to providing an outstanding educational experience for all of our students. As we prepare for our return to instruction on Monday, August 31, we would like to share two learning options for our students. Both options are very different from the emergency e-Learning during the Spring 2020 semester. These options include a structured daily schedule, instruction on new content, attendance requirements and other components that may not have been included in the emergency e-Learning last spring. In addition, both virtual options may provide students the opportunity to come to school for appointments for tutoring and interventions as well as athletics/activities.
Please choose one of the following options by Wednesday, August 12. A video explaining these options can be found HERE.
A video transcript can be found HERE.
Option 1- Full Virtual with the Plan to Return to In-Person Instruction as COVID Allows. This option is a semester-long commitment to Bayless curriculum with Bayless teachers providing instruction. Students will likely maintain their current schedule. Those who select this option will participate in full virtual classes and hopefully In-Person instruction when Covid 19 allows. Students will follow a set daily schedule where students will receive live instruction for each of their courses.
Option 2- Virtual Academy. This option is a semester-long commitment to coursework through Edgenuity curriculum facilitated by Bayless teachers. Students who select this all virtual instruction option should have time-management skills, computer and technical skills and previous success in a virtual classroom. Edgenuity curriculum is aligned to Missouri standards. Virtual Academy classes are 100% virtual with no option to return to in-person during the first semester. Students and parents will receive regular updates on progress and grades. Coursework for Virtual Academy is submitted through Edgenuity. Click HERE to access the Virtual Academy Manual.
Click HERE to complete the required VIRTUAL registration confirmation.
Our community will get through this together. Bayless faculty and staff are committed to making this the best learning experience possible under these difficult circumstances. We are in this together and are here to help you, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance.
