Distance learning schedules

More information about GUSD distance learning 

  • All students will continue to be enrolled in their home school.
  • The school day will consist of a structured daily schedule of learning tasks, which will include synchronous learning (teacher-led lessons with the whole class) and asynchronous learning (individual or small group learning). 
  • Students will have daily live interaction with teachers and peers for instruction, progress monitoring and maintaining a connection to the school community.  Daily live interaction will happen using Zoom.
  • Student attendance will be required and will be recorded daily.
  • Students will receive A-F grades and progress reports.
  • Students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 plan will receive the services and accommodations to the greatest extent possible.

* REMEMBER: It is vital for students to access and regularly check their GUSD email accounts. These accounts are where they will receive communications from teachers and schools and to access district-approved platforms like Google Classroom.
