Grades 9-12

Virtual learning for grades 9-12 can occur in one of two ways…

  1. Distance Education offers a wide range of asynchronous classes with flexible pacing through the district’s Canvas learning management system. The students connect with teachers at specific points in the courses and as needed to support the student through the semester.
  2. Hybrid courses are courses offered at KPBSD schools that allow students from other schools to be a student in the course. Students are expected to attend class virtually and complete work via Canvas. At this time, this is offered on a case by case basis with expansion planned for the future.
  • Distance Education Information
  • Hybrid – link coming soon
Grades 7-8

Virtual learning for grades 7-8 in KPBSD is a teacher facilitated program that is a blend of online curriculum and synchronous virtual connection with the learning community. Students meet daily online for class and utilize Canvas to access their lessons and submit work.

  • Grades 7-8 Information
Grades 1-6

Virtual learning for grades 1-6 in KPBSD is a teacher facilitated, parent supported program that is a blend of online curriculum and synchronous virtual connection with the learning community. Students meet daily online with their class and utilize Canvas to access their lessons and submit work. *Note that virtual learning is not offered for kindergarten at this time.

Commitment

Are you willing to stick with this?  There are no set enrollment periods for the iChoice program, however, it is vital for strong learning progress to have continuity. Families and students will need a little time to adapt to this new method of learning. It will be better for your student(s)’ learning experience to dedicate a minimum amount of time to the program and consider switching at quarter and semester breaks.

Structure

Do you have a pretty consistent schedule? A consistent schedule will contribute to completion of lessons and tasks and in turn promote continual growth. Unlike a traditional brick and mortar learning, students and their family schedules are largely self-directed and discipline is required to maintain them. This also offers great flexibility, pacing personalized to the student and partnerships for learning.

Advocacy

Are you willing to advocate for yourself by asking questions and asking for help?  Unlike traditional courses, an online teacher cannot see when a student needs help or is confused. Distance learning is a partnership! Families and students must be willing to initiate contact with their teacher.

Communication

Are you willing to communicate with people on the phone, through email, or with other online tools?  Learning through iChoice will incorporate both synchronous (set time) and asynchronous (not a set time) learning. Willingness to connect with the teacher and learning community is an important part of remote learning.

Connectivity

Do you have internet access?  The computer will be the virtual classroom, so a consistent internet connection at home is necessary. You will be assigned a Chromebook from your neighborhood school for use while in the iChoice program. If you need assistance with internet connection, please notify your iChoice teacher.

Personalized Learning

KPBSD is committed to personalized learning through preparedness and strong foundational skills. iChoice learning design is centered around the student and meeting them where they are at.

Connection

KPBSD is committed to humanizing learning through social emotional learning practices. iChoice learning designs are based on human interaction and learning community.

Quality

KPBSD is committed to high quality instruction through best practices. iChoice utilizes the most current research to design innovative learning experiences.

Equity

KPBSD seeks to offer targeted access to learning across the district. iChoice diminishes barriers to accessing learning through flexibility and personalized learning.

Choice

KPBSD seeks to offer families and students options that fit their needs. iChoice expands learning options to include virtual learning.
