How Hybrid Learning Works

Hybrid learning combines in-class instruction and at-home learning. This allows us to limit the number of students in the building each day for safe social distancing, while still ensuring that students can benefit from direct interaction with teachers and peers. 

Instruction

  •  Students will attend in person instruction on a rotating basis in the building.
  • Students will follow a regular day schedule.
  • On in- person days, students will participate in whole group, small group and one-on-one instruction with the onsite teacher.
  • On remote days, students participate in whole group, small group, and one-on-one live instruction with a remote teacher.
  • Students in blended learning classes will have an onsite teacher when they are in school, and a remote teacher when they are at home.
  •  Social-emotional activities will be integrated into academic subjects to the greatest extent possible throughout the day.
  •  Students will be exposed to grade- level curriculum in all content areas.
  • Students will be assessed periodically to monitor progress.

Support

  • Teachers are available to meet with students and families daily from 2:00-2:20 virtually to provide additional support and/or address parental concerns.

Attendance

  • Students participate in 100% remote learning 5 days a week.
  • Students must attend live instruction in order to be marked present for the day.

How 100% Remote Instruction Works

During 100% remote learning, your child is expected to complete all assignments provided by the teacher. At the same time, we recognize that working independently at home is different and difficult for many students, so we want to provide flexibility. 

Instruction

  •  Live instruction will be about 15-20 minutes throughout the day for young learners, and can increase based in development appropriateness and grade level.
  •  Students will participate in whole group, small group  and one-on-one live instruction with the teacher, as well as collaboration with classmates.

CORONA WON'T STOP P.S.105!!!!!!

  • Giraffe wearing a face mask.

     P.S. 105's very own graphic design artist Mr. De Ascentis was inspired to begin creating a series of paintings depicting different animals rocking protective gear when he took a simple trip to his local store. While he was out he noticed many people were not wearing masks.  In Mr. De Ascentis' words this drove him BONKERS!! Thank you for sharing your student's incredible artwork and putting a smile on everyone's face!!! We can all learn from the giraffe and remember to  wear a face mask!

CORONA WON'T STOP P.S.105!!!!!!
