HYBRID LEARNING SCHEDULE FOR FALL 2020
School will be open 5 days a week. Students will attend on days specific to their cohort. Remote learners will be learning on google classroom from home. Students will be split into groups to assist with maintaining social distancing. 100% remote learners will be considered Cohort D. Students who are in blended learning will be assigned to either cohort A, B or C. CS 112X has chosen to operate on the NYC DOE's model #1B of hybrid learning. See details below.
Model 1:
- This model assumes that a school can serve at any given time at least half of students who choose in-person learning.
- In this model, there are three in-person student groups and one fully remote student group.
- Groups A and B will receive in-person learning for the same two consecutive days every week - Tuesdays and Wednesdays for Group A and Thursday and Fridays for Group B - with groups alternating Mondays. This amounts to a total of five days of in-person instruction every two weeks. Group C will meet every day. Students will participate in remote learning for non-in person days.
- Students whose families choose fully remote learning will receive remote instruction every day.
Groups:
- Group A: Blue, Group B: Yellow, Group C: White (self-contained), Group D: Green (100% remote)

In-Person Schedule
Students who are physically attending in school classes will be required to arrive at school on their assigned days. Arrival will be at 8:30 and will allow for social distancing.
NO ONE CAN BE DROPPED OFF EARLY FOR BREAKFAST. Students will grab their breakfast as they enter the building.
Student classroom, teacher, room number and arrival and dismissal times will be included in letters mailed to homes.
Dismissal will be staggered beginning at 1:40 and ending at 2:00 with the final classes. Early dismissal will be discouraged between 1:30 and 2:00 to help maintain order and social distancing protocols.
Online Schedule
On each day when your child is engaging in online/remote instruction they will be required to log in to their google classroom for the day to complete their daily lessons.
Each child will be assigned a remote teacher and that will be the person they engage with on google classroom on the days that they are not in the building.
Remote learning schedules will be provided by the remote teacher once the children are assigned to their classes.

Updated information will be available on the school’s web sight and the notify app. Information is also available through class DoJo.
