Learning Options for Students

All students and families within DOE schools have two learning options to choose from for September 2020 and the restart of school.

  • Option 1: 100% Remote Learning. This will look a lot like the spring remote learning model. Opt in to have your child learn 100% remotely (all online, from home, all interactions with teachers and fellow students will be online).
  • Option 2: Blended Learning Model. Your child can follow the school’s schedule, a mix of in-person days at school and remote learning days from home. Our school will be in touch about our schedule and programming plans in the coming weeks.

Take time to discuss with your family what would be the best option for you. We are here to answer questions and discuss what changes will be in place at VSC to ensure the safety and health of all. You can reach VSC Parent Coordinator at Alanna MacLeod-Bluver at 914-712-8734 or reach out to us through email. الرهان في سباق الخيل As more information becomes available, we will post it here and send it out through email.

Fill out the official learning preference survey from the DOE by August 7th.

Please check back as more information is released! We will do our best to keep you updated as the plans are formed.
