What are the three educational options available for the 2020–2021 school year?
- Traditional - Students return to school with social distancing guidelines and protocols outlined in the return to school plan on the Lake-Lehman website.
- Live Streaming Classroom - Students will receive instruction from home via Zoom with Lake-Lehman teachers. Core content is the focus and login times with schedules would follow with the teachers and normal school day instructional schedules. This option is good for families that would like “live” instruction and the delivery of major subject areas.
- Lake-Lehman Cyber - Students are entered into a cyber platform - Edmentum is used for secondary students and Accelerate Education through Brandywine Virtual Academy for elementary students. Lake-Lehman teachers guide the students through instruction and communicate with them daily. This option is good for students and families who require flexibility in their schedules. This allows students to learn at their own pace, at a time that works best for the family.

Is the LLSD Cyber School option reflective of the educational enrichment activities provided in the spring of 2020?
No. LLSD Cyber School is provided through stand-alone platforms, including Edmentum for secondary students and Accelerate Education through Brandywine Virtual Academy for elementary students. LLSD Cyber School provides guided instruction by Lake-Lehman teachers and applicable mastery and grading requirements, with the flexibility of a 24/7 education schedule.
What grading format will be used upon the return to school?
Grading scales will follow the regular format upon return to school. The modified, hold-harmless, grading scale offered at the conclusion of the 2019-20 school year will not be carried forward. Please consult with your building principal or student handbook for further grading information.
How much time will a student spend in front of the computer if selecting live streaming or LLSD Cyber School?
The amount of time a student will spend working on a computer in these options is variable. Computer time will be based upon the courses selected, the mastery of content, lesson design and available platform options. Lake-Lehman will offer necessary supports to streamline educational experiences and provide an enriching educational environment.
Will a student have the same classroom teacher for Live Streaming as they would be assigned in the Traditional setting?
While, classroom and teaching assignments are still being finalized, students choosing to participate in Live Streaming will have a classroom teacher from their normal school building, content area and grade level providing Live Stream instruction.
Will there be an open-house for LLSD Cyber School or Live Streaming?

LLSD Cyber School teachers are currently arranging schedules and assignments utilizing the results of our Parent/Guardian Survey. We are working diligently to provide interactive experiences and instructional opportunities into these schedules.
Live Streaming will offer students the opportunity to interact with their classroom and teachers throughout class. The goal of the program is to allow students to see and interact with their class as if they were present in our brick-and-mortar buildings.

No, families will need to choose a single educational plan option to be enrolled in at any given time.
Can families change their educational selection if their situation changes during the school year?

No. The district is not considering any other options at this time.
Is the district planning to offer all elective courses/specials for the upcoming school year?
The district is currently reviewing all potential course offerings, remaining cognizant of classroom design, shared course materials, potential risks, and available personnel. Further course/schedule information will be forthcoming.
