Remote Learning Welcome Video
Remote Learning begins for students
on Monday, April 6th, 2020.
Students will participate in class meetings once weekly
(30-minute duration) for each scheduled class based on the chart below.
- Students should log into their Schoology account and view the course home page for each class to identify the virtual meeting times for their classes.
- A chart detailing the meeting times and office hours for each class and instructor can be accessed by clicking on the subject links above. Students can use this chart to search for class meeting times based on their original schedule.
- Example: A student in Ms. Deighton’s 1A class will participate in class meetings on Mondays from 10:45 am – 11:15 am.
- Office Hours: A time when students and/or parents have access to their instructor. This time should be spent responding to student questions, answering emails, answering Schoology questions, posting solutions for common misconceptions, and conferencing or updating students (a teacher may use Google Meets to communicate with students and parents as needed).
- Class Meetings: The time when each instructor provides the opportunity for a “Whole Group” session via Google Meets, once per week per course. This is for students to join with their teacher and classmates to ask questions, reteach, clarify or check-in in “real time”.
- Library Media Center Hours: The time when students staff and/or teachers have remote access to the library media specialist. This time will be spent answering questions, helping with research projects, navigating our Destiny Catalog and our ebook collections, collaborating with teachers, planning instruction, and trouble shooting computer tech issues.
- *Principal/Admin Office Hours: A time when students, staff and/or parents have remote access to their administrator and/or principal. This time will be spent responding to questions, family meetings with counselors, providing informal feedback, answering Schoology questions, updating grade level or content teams(using Google Meets, Google Voice, Microsoft Teams, etc.) We will be available by email daily, however if extensive support or dialogue needs to take place this time will be used to do so virtually.

Message from Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams
Dear Team BCPS,
I appreciate your patience and understanding during the coronavirus pandemic. There is nothing more important than the safety of our students and staff.
During this period, BCPS will provide “continuity of learning” through virtual and print-based learning pathways depending on student access to technology.
As mandated by the state, BCPS school buildings are closed through Friday, April 24. But learning continues!
