K-5 Virtual Learning Option Frequently Asked Questions
What is the virtual learning option through Pearson?
The Pearson Learning program is a blended learning model with a student-centered approach. This means that students will have the opportunity to participate in real-time learning with the teacher online, as well as independent (or asynchronous) learning.
What if my student wants to return to their neighborhood school?
Because of the learning program, the district asks that you commit to a full year for the program.
Is the program rigorous?
Pearson provides a rigorous academic program taught by state certified teachers, and curriculum and instructional materials are aligned with state learning standards.
What will the school day look like?
Your student’s daily schedule would be similar to your student’s current school’s schedule; however, there is schedule flexibility.
Will students have access to additional services (504s, special education, etc.)?
The district will work with families regarding special needs, such as 504 and special education services.
Are immunizations required?
The state requires proof of required immunizations for all students to participate in in-person or virtual learning programs in the state of Washington. This does not include COVID-19 vaccination. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is not a required immunization for students in Washington.
