Formal Learning Plan Fall 2020
Caregivers, parents and guardians,

At Samueli Academy, we value creating a nurturing environment which cares about the whole student. Now more than ever, we stand by our belief that creating loving, supportive, and equitable communities of learning is what our students need. We believe that project-based learning remains the best way to create engaging learning opportunities for all students and we remain committed to collaborative learning. Samueli Academy recognizes the impacts the Covid-19 pandemic has had on our community and it is our responsibility to ensure the physical and social-emotional safety of our students.

Beginning August 12th, 2020, Samueli Academy will hold the first day of school virtually and continue to operate 100% online until health authorities and local factors deem social gathering safe from the rapid spread of coronavirus infection. As a small school and a charter, Samueli Academy is flexible and intends to return to school in person as soon as both state and local indicators point to group gatherings safely occurring once again. We recognize the urgency of resuming school in person and are eager to open in a way that is safe for all students and staff as soon as possible.

Please see this link for complete information and resources regarding this plan.

Plan formal de aprendizaje otoño 2020

Este video contiene una descripción de nuestro plan de aprendizaje para otoño.
Cuidadores, padres y tutores,

En Samueli Academy, valoramos la creación de un ambiente enriquecedor que se preocupe por todo el alumno. Ahora más que nunca, mantenemos nuestra creencia de que lo que necesitan nuestros estudiantes es crear comunidades de aprendizaje cariñoso, solidarias y equitativas. Creemos que el aprendizaje basado en proyectos sigue siendo la mejor manera de crear oportunidades de aprendizaje atractivas para todos los estudiantes y seguimos comprometidos con el aprendizaje colaborativo. Samueli Academy reconoce los impactos que la pandemia de Covid-19 ha tenido en nuestra comunidad y es nuestra responsabilidad garantizar la seguridad física y social y emocional de nuestros estudiantes.

A partir del 12 de agosto de 2020, Samueli Academy comenzará el primer día de clases virtualmente y continuará operando 100% en línea hasta que los funcionarios estatales y locales, las autoridades de salud y los factores locales consideren que las reuniones sociales están más seguras para prevenir la rápida propagación de la infección por coronavirus. Como una escuela pequeña y una escuela autónoma, Samueli Academy es flexible y tiene la intención de regresar a la escuela en persona tan pronto como los indicadores estatales y locales indiquen que las reuniones grupales ocurran de manera segura una vez más. Reconocemos la urgencia de reanudar la escuela en persona y estamos ansiosos por abrir de una manera segura para todos los estudiantes y el personal lo antes posible.
