Distance Learning Daily Schedule
Sample Distance Learning Schedule
Students have six classes every day. All six classes are live online and 35 minutes long. The school day will run from 9:00 a.m. - 2:10 p.m.
For most students, one of the six classes is an academic skills class during which students will be provided with additional support and/or enrichment.
Students have one hour for lunch to allow enough time for children to visit one of the 19 meal sites across the county.
Google Meet for Virtual Classes
WCPS students will be transitioning from Zoom to Google Meet to participate in online instruction with their teacher. Students will be able to join virtual classes right from Google Classroom. Google is in the process of upgrading the program’s tools to support teachers in making online learning interactive and engaging, like breakout rooms, digital whiteboards, quick polls, and more. The transition from Zoom to Google Meet will occur once Google has completed these updates.
WCPS will be providing tutorial videos for Google Meet and more online learning tools.
Tools for Communicating with Teachers
In order to protect private student information, WCPS teachers are not able to use apps like Remind, Class DoJo, Seesaw, and others. These apps do not meet federal or state safety requirements the way they are currently configured. As a result, their use is being discontinued in the school system.
Parents are encouraged to use ParentVUE and WCPS email to communicate directly with teachers regarding their children. Each student in kindergarten through grade 12 is assigned a WCPS email address, which can be used for parents to email teachers.
Teachers can also invite parents and guardians as guests to their child’s Google Classroom. Parents can choose to receive daily or weekly assignment summaries to track their child’s progress.
