Parents,
In response to the needs of our community, Lexington Two has added a new full-time virtual option for students in 5K-12 for the 2020-21 school year. Unlike eLearning, which was intended to be used for inclement weather situations, students in the Virtual Academy will have a normal daily instructional schedule, earn grades, and participate in virtual interactions with teachers. Teachers experienced in online platforms and virtual instruction will help and support student engagement using live and recorded lessons and tutorials.
If you want your child(ren) to participate in the Lexington Two Virtual Academy, please complete the application linked below. Because staffing the virtual program requires removal of teachers from traditional classrooms, we are asking parents to commit to a full year of virtual instruction. However, if a request is made by a family to transition back to a traditional school setting, we will work for an end of nine weeks or mid-year transition, as long as there is appropriate space available.
We recognize it is difficult to make a decision without knowing what traditional school will look like this fall, but we cannot wait for the first of August to staff the Virtual Academy. Like you, we are trying to plan and make decisions without knowing what the future holds. Though we do not know for sure what school will look like throughout the 2020-21 school year, it is LIKELY that students in our traditional program will experience both in-person and eLearning due to changing conditions related to COVID. This future eLearning will include new material, a more structured schedule, normal grading, and live or pre-recorded lessons with the students' regular classroom teachers.
If you want to participate in the Lexington Two Virtual Academy during the 2020-21 school year, please complete this application as soon as possible so we can properly staff both our virtual and traditional programs. The application will remain open through July 23rd and will be shared via social media and the district website.
