GRADUATION VIDEO PLANNING:
Seniors! Start planning which photo you will want to share for the Virtual Graduation video. All photos MUST be submitted as a .jpg file with the student’s name properly spelled for the file name. Make sure the lighting is set in front of you, not from behind, to keep the focus on YOU! EnvisionPro will be reaching out to your Senior via their 4J email – please make sure they are checking it frequently!
HIGH SCHOOL HYBRID SCHEDULE
Students in the hybrid and online models will have the same classes. High schools’ daily schedule in the hybrid model will mirror the schedule during distance learning, with the same class times and the same A/B day schedule.
Students will continue to attend Periods 1, 2 and 3 on A days (Monday and Thursday) and Periods 4, 5 and 0 on B days (Tuesday and Friday), both online and on-site. Students will attend live class sessions in the morning and early afternoon and engage in asynchronous learning assignments at home in the afternoon, four days a week. On Wednesdays, as during distance learning, students will attend real-time advisory class via Zoom in the morning, targeted supports and enrichments for some students, and engage in asynchronous applied learning for all classes.
Students enrolled in the hybrid model will attend school on-site two days a week, either Mondays and Tuesdays or Thursdays and Fridays, while students who are not attending school on-site that day will engage in those classes simultaneously at a distance. See hybird schedule here.

El distrito de tránsito de Lane (LTD) continuará a permitir que los estudiantes puedan usar el bus sin su pase hasta el mes de septiembre. Por ahora, lo único que tienen que hacer los estudiantes para obtener su pase es notificar al conductor del bus que son estudiantes de 4J. Cuando el LTD reinicia la colección de tarifas estudiantiles, los estudiantes pueden seguir usando el bus gratis, pero solo con el pase de LTD de su escuela. Compartiremos más información sobre como obtener alrededor de septiembre.
