The Hybrid Learning model has a “foot” in both In Person Learning and eLearning. A hybrid model uses a combination of in person instruction and virtual learning, which includes *synchronous and *asynchronous structures. Hybrid Learning is about finding the right mix out of all the possibilities in learning, no matter if they are offline or online. Differentiated instruction will continue to occur to meet the needs of students and personalize learning.

*Synchronous: Learning that occurs when there is a scheduled time for the teacher and students to meet either virtually or in person and instruction is delivered in real time.

*Asynchronous: Learning that occurs when students are working independently at their own pace and time. Learning takes place by accessing information virtually, but does not require live or simultaneous interaction with a teacher or class.

We will always work to support families through various circumstances.

For elementary and junior high, students enrolled in the in-person learning option will be allowed to switch to the online-only option at any time but may not return in-person prior to the end of the second trimester, except in circumstances such as quarantine. Students enrolled in online-only may not switch to in-person prior to the end of the second trimester.  for high school students, we ask that students enrolled in online-only discussion options with their building leadership.

There are many reasons for this including continuity for the student, teacher planning for student learning, staffing of classrooms, and attendance reporting to name a few.  

Grading practices will be reflective of the Naperville 203 beliefs and format.  Reporting and feedback will be done on a regular basis.

Families will be expected to conduct symptom monitoring checks each day and complete the appropriate form communicating wellness.  It will be important for families to know the Hybrid schedule and remind students to;

• Know the calendar 
• Check Canvas daily 
• Record attendance
• Help your child(ren) prioritize work and attend classes
• Keep lines of communication open so families and teachers are working together to support students

Yes, District benchmark and accountability assessments will be administered when students are physically in attendance in school.

As with all our models of learning, teachers and support staff will monitor student progress and work to differentiate as needed. Our goal is to help all students make progress and feel safe and supported. Differentiated opportunities for all students to support academic deficits will be in place. Additionally, support staff from Naperville 203 buildings will be available to connect and provide an additional layer of support should that be required.

For families that do not have internet access, Naperville 203 will provide Wi-Fi access.

Naperville 203 won’t necessarily be “podding” students, the hybrid model allows for us to minimize the numbers of students in our buildings and reduces the mixing of student cohorts or groups.

At this time, to safely control the number of people in our buildings, we are not allowing any outside visitors or volunteers in our Naperville 203 schools or classrooms at this time. However, we are always looking for qualified substitute teachers and would encourage anyone interested in applying to visit Naperville 203’s job listings site.
