Virtual Learning for Scholars in Quarantine

If a scholar tests positive for COVID, or comes in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID, then a 10-day stay-at-home period will be required.  See more details and definitions  here.  Uplift will always prioritize the health and safety of its scholars. If a scholar is ill, then they need to focus on getting well. The best thing for the scholar to do is to focus on their wellness so that they can return to their normal activities, prevent the spread of the virus, and atransition back to in-person learning healthy and ready to engage fully in learning. 

If a scholar is feeling well enough to do school work, then they are eligible to participate in ConnectEd.

How it Works

When a scholar is on a 10-day quarantine period, they will be assigned a virtual classroom.  Scholars feeling well enough will be required to attend class from 8 am – 12 pm.  Scholars will have a dedicated virtual instructor each day.  For scholars in grades PreK through 10th, teachers will closely follow what is being taught in the in-person classroom.   Scholars in grades 11 – 12 will receive instruction for part of the class period and time for independent work (with the instructor present to answer questions and support in completing their assigned course work). Scholars must remain online for the 4-hour duration in order to receive a full day of attendance.   

If scholars are part of an EL small group, dyslexia, or self-contained classroom the scholar will continue to meet with these groups at the scheduled time with the appropriate staff members.
