High school students who chose to face-to-face instruction for the fall semester will return to campuses on Thursday in the Cobb County School District, the final phase of the district’s reopening plans.
At the same time, the district announced that the period for signing up for learning options for the spring semester will take place between Nov. 15-29.
Parents can choose remote or face-to-face as they did in the fall semester, but once that choice is made their children must stick with that selection.
As the 2020-21 school year heads into the second semester, Cobb Schools is making preparations to continue teaching and learning in a safe and healthy environment. Just as in the Fall, families will have the opportunity to choose the environment that works best for them: face-to-face or remote learning.
The district is saying that “specific instructions, including login directions, will be provided to parents before the choice window opens.”
Parents are asked to visit the district’s Learning Everywhere portal to guide their decisions, including sample learning schedules, learning models, meal plans, transportation, after-school programs, enhanced health and safety protocols, and expectations for students and teachers.
Data released by the district before students returned to classes indicated that 52 percent of all students chose face-to-face learning, including 58 percent in elementary school, 54 percent in middle school and 42 percent in high school.
Two high schools in East Cobb reported the highest percentage of students who will be going back to classrooms: Pope (70.6 percent) and Lassiter (63.3 percent).
