Understanding our Model and Levels

Levels for learning models allow education to pivot at any time between distance, hybrid and in-person learning. These levels will be determined by the impacts of a changing health situation (e.g. number of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population over 14 days in Thurston County), available resources, and direction from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Gov. Jay Inslee, and Thurston County Public Health and Social Services (PHSS). 

 

The District may modify levels (listed below) as changing conditions require:

 

 

Distance Learning

100% Distance Learning (Level 1)

  • All students and staff participate in distance learning. Staff may be onsite for the purpose of planning and delivering instruction.

 

Distance Learning (Level 2)

  • Students identified with specialized needs participate in groups of no more than five students with in-person instruction onsite. All other students participate in distance learning. Staff may be onsite for the purpose of planning and delivering instruction.

 

Hybrid Learning (Level 3)

  • All students from Level 2, as well as our youngest learners, participate onsite with in-person instruction. All other students participate in distance learning. Staff may be onsite for the purpose of planning and delivering instruction.

 

Hybrid Learning (Level 4)

  • All students participate onsite with in-person instruction two (2) days a week.

 

100% In-person Learning (Level 5)

  • All students and staff participate onsite with in-person instruction five (5) days a week.
