Questions And Answers 2020-21 School Year - Questions & Concerns Will SAT texts be scheduled or should students sign up with the College Board directly? The safest option is to sign up with the College Board directly. We are uncertain at this time whether or not we will be able to offer SAT exams through the school this year, although we hope this will be the case. Recognizing the importance of the SAT to our students, we hope to be able to offer an option this year, and we are monitoring state guidelines to that end. There will be additional communication in early September regarding the school's SAT plans for 2020-21. back to top Will H-F offer SAT Prep/Tutoring this year?

During remote instruction last year, final exams were replaced by culminating assessments. Although we are still finalizing details on this, it is likely that a similar course of action will be followed. back to top How will tests and quizzes be handled to ensure that students are not cheating or getting help? The primary way of doing this is an assessment that cannot be readily copied or cheated on. That said, there are ways around even the most secure protocols. We also ask that parents take an active role in what their students are doing for school and help us to enforce that as well. back to top How will Band classes be taught? Band will be taught online this semester. If we come back blended, for now the guidance from ISBE/IDPH requires that band be taught outside with social-distancing parameters. back to top How will Art classes be taught?

Students will access their Project Lead the Way courses through the Project Lead Learning Management System. Teachers will provide instruction through synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences (similar to their other classes). At the start of the school year, students will be surveyed to learn what devices they can access to fully engage in learning experiences. The district will assess needs and determine a course of action after reviewing the survey information. back to top How will Orchestra classes be taught?

All athletic facilities at H-F High School are currently closed to the public in order to ensure the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff. back to top Why all the focus on textbooks? We are trying to determine the best way to deliver content for students. In the past, textbooks have been the central source of information for the course, although that has changed so some extent with more modern technology. Some courses are more textbook dependent than others, although ALL courses are heavily text dependent, whether they come from the course's textbook or from an online or other printed source. back to top Will students need a printer or other supplies besides textbooks and a Chromebook? Ultimately this will be course dependent. In many, perhaps even most, classes the answer will be no; however, some supplies may be needed.

The decision will be reassessed as the situation evolves. back to top How long will remote learning last? We are currently anticpating remote learning will last at least into the second quarter, and it seems likely the full first semester could be remote. We will monitor federal and state guidelines, along with pragmatic considerations to make a decision about school opening. It is our desire to have students in the building, provided it can be done safely and efficiently. back to top What specifically is different about the remote learning this fall versus what was done last spring? Teachers and students have a basic level of experience and the staff has had much more time to plan and adapt. At the instructional level, teachers have greater knowledge and experience with digital tools appropriate for their content. There will be more accountability in the grading policy.

We are still finalizing details, but it is our goal to ensure instruction is not interrupted for that day. back to top Last spring, teachers appeared to leverage links to online content to fill class time. Is this method of instruction expected to continue this fall? Students will engage in full class periods of sychronous instruction Mondays through Thursdays, planned by their teachers and not an outside online vendor.

Many online resources will be used for students to interact with course content, read content and respond to content. back to top What measures are in place to be sure the teachers are providing a high standard, virtual experience for students?
