The High School Virtual Campus will mirror the in-person 2022-2023 bell schedule. Classes begin at 7:35 am and end at 2:30 pm. Synchronous learning may begin later or end earlier than the in-person class start and end times.
Block schedule class periods will be comprised of:
- 45-50 minutes live instruction
- 36-41 minutes asynchronous independent, and small group work
Traditional schedule class periods will be comprised of:
- 20-30 minutes live instruction
- 15-25 minutes asynchronous independent, and small group work
Attendance for Parkway Virtual Campus will be taken daily and students are expected to attend all scheduled class sessions and teacher requested help sessions.
Successful Parkway Virtual Campus students will:
- Monitor Parkway email and online assignments daily.
- Demonstrate time-management skills that indicate the student is capable of submitting assignments and completing course requirements without reminders.
- Demonstrate persistence in overcoming obstacles and willingness to seek assistance when needed.
- Demonstrate verbal or written communication skills that would allow the student to succeed in an environment where the instructor may not provide nonverbal cues to support the student's understanding.
- Have the necessary computer or technical skills to succeed in a virtual course.
- Be able to access technology resources to participate in a virtual course.
- Ensure Zoom profile images are of the student or their name. Images should be school appropriate.
Parent University
Are you interested in learning more about the online platforms that Parkway is using with students during distance and virtual learning?
Parent University is a course created in Schoology, our district Learning Management System, that has information about Schoology, Google for Education, videoconferencing, and digital citizenship. Within the course you will find information that will help you understand the tools students use as well as opportunities for you to experience the tools from the student perspective. The goal of the course is to support you in feeling confident that you can help your child(ren) with online learning in Parkway. While you are welcome to explore the materials in any order, it would be beneficial to work through the Schoology folder first to learn how to interact with tools you will encounter in other folders. Follow these directions to enroll in the Parkway Parent University Schoology Course! Be sure to scroll down to page 2.
