Instruction was virtual and included synchronous instruction along with advisory time to support non-academic needs or concerns for students.

2020-21 School Year:

• Initial instruction continued to be virtual, with a student success coordinator assigned to visit student homes to ensure that any issues or challenges regarding instruction, technology needs, special education, and non-academic supports were being met. Other visitations were completed by instructional staff or the Superintendent/Principal for the school.

• In November, G2S returned to partial in-person learning, combined with virtual learning as an option for any student. The plan outlined at the bottom of this page details the required screening process.
