instructional program for students for the 2021-22 school year.\u00a0The instructional delivery model will include both synchronous and asynchronous classes, which means students will need to attend some regularly scheduled live online class sessions.\u00a0Teachers will be providing direct instruction, facilitating learning activities, assessing students, monitoring progress, and providing support.\u00a0The content will be standards-based and facilitated by certified HCSD teachers.\u00a0While it is impossible to fully replicate the in-person classroom experience, our goal is to provide a high quality, challenging learning environment in a caring community where students experience connection and success.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for all of the support you will provide your child in the
