All Year Core Content1. All middle school students in the Kalamazoo Virtual Learning Plan (option 2A) will be assigned to one KPS teacher. The KPS teacher that your child is assigned to will be responsible for a minimum of two two-way communications each week. Two-way communication may include phone calls, Google Meet, text, and e-mail. The communication will be initiated by the teacher and conversations will focus primarily on academics.

All Year Core Content2. In the Home Access Center (HAC), students/families will see the student’s schedule with other KPS teachers based on the specific content areas (ELA, math, science, and social studies). Students are not required to attend or participate in any synchronous or “live” lessons with these teachers. The KPS teacher that your child is assigned to will provide the names, contact information, and availability of other core teachers who will give academic feedback within the Calvert platform throughout the course.
3. Students and families can initiate communication to any of the four core content area teachers.
