Why is Maury High School starting the first nine weeks of school virtually? In the best interest of the health and safety of all NPS Stakeholders, the Norfolk School Board voted in July to open all Norfolk Public Schoolsvirtually in the fall for the first nine weeks of school. The school district in conjunction with Norfolks Health Department will evaluate Covid-19 data to determine how teaching and learning will take place thereafter. When is the first day of school for virtuallearning and what are the student hours? School will start on Tuesday, September 8, 2020 at 7:25am and end at 2:05pm. Students will follow their virtual schedule every day. The odd (A-Day)/even (B-Day) schedule can be found at: https://www.npsk12.com/cms/lib/VA02208074/Centricity/Domain/4/E-O%20Block%20Schedule%202020- 2021%20upd%2027%20jul%2020.pdf When will my student’s schedule be ready? Maury is working diligently to finalize schedules so that they are available for viewing in StudentVue and ParentVue. Why are Maury students expected to start at 7:25am? Norfolk Public Schools want to keep the same start times for students whether they attend school virtually or in person. Will Maury High School have regular office hours? At thistime, office hours for the regular school year have not been determi ned. Our main office remains open Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:00am-2:00pm. Wearing face masks is required when entering the building. How do I get my ParentVue login information? Please email [email protected] in order to request this information. Please provide your name as well as your students name in the email. My login doesn’t work. Who do I email? Please email [email protected] in order to request help.Please provide your full name and student number in the email. How do I update my contact information Please email [email protected] with your name, students name and any corrected contact information. Address changes require documentation. Further instructions will be sent to you. Will teaching and learning look the same as it did during the spring quarantine? No, this year students will be expected to login to a live Zoom class session, following their daily bell schedule. The first class of the day will start at 7:25am and students are expected to be logged in and ready to learn at that time. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and work with their peers. They will receive assignments with deadlines. Students will be graded following the traditional grading system including classwork, homework, projects, quizzes, and tests. Paper packets will not be made available. Below is the division sample bell schedule:
