What commitment is involved?
Students and families will make a minimum of a one-semester commitment to Bobcat Virtual in order to maintain the best overall learning experience. Elementary students (K-5) will need a parent/guardian “learning coach” at home to provide valuable guidance in partnership with the program. The teachers, as well as the design of Lincoln Learning, will assist and guide the learning coach. This partnership is essential for success.
For students K-5, teachers will virtually meet with students as needed (and at least weekly). Secondary teachers will provide office hours of one-on-one meetings, if necessary. Teachers will not be teaching "live" as a general rule. The vast majority of work will be done independently and online.
Students will be required to "attend" courses daily (login on a daily basis) in order to stay on track; however, flexibility is one of the benefits of the program. Deadlines will be given to keep students on pace, but the time of day/day of the week a student completes work is mostly up to your family (unless otherwise specified by your instructor.)
Secondary students will need to be accountable and responsible with their assignments and should be self-motivated to complete tasks or have some guidance from an adult.
The same holidays are generally allowed for virtual students that are on the GBCS District Calendar, as well as the same beginning and end dates of quarters, semesters, and the school year. If you don't feel assignments have been adjusted to accommodate, please speak with your student's teacher.
