Our school district is awesome cyber school

Two tenth graders and fifth grader are at desk signed in and ready to be counted head sets on laptops signed in . 07:45 start to 14:20 end five days week. The school district and educators are aces and we’re partial in thinking. As our youngest daughter is elementary teacher, the school ran last year with what they had on home schooling. Emailing assignments to be completed they were available online for instructions you had to make appointment. And this is dedication I remember our one son online with math teacher on a Saturday morning that speaks volumes to me. And in like four months our district put together cyber academy fantastic operation.

Every course is covered even gym they’re obligated to get in 20.000 steps a week recorded by fit bit. Advanced language the district brought in a outside operation. So German and French is covered. Even music class our one son guitar, they brought outside instructors for music. His music teacher will accept his music college online guitar program credits this summer. He was supposed to attend five weeks this summer obviously he could not so he did it online. And gym we can substitute the walking with our free weights and swim club by appointment only.
I work third shift I have that covered along with home school lunches.

Every marking period there is $500 reimbursement per child. Now that is decent for single parents buying supplies or groceries. The only issue we ran into was laptops for some reason district didn’t have enough. So fortunately my wife and I we’re able and purchased three laptops. So the boys didn’t have to use their gaming laptops.

School lunch today is a thirty pound turkey it’s in the oven. Mashed potatoes stuffing and broccoli and gravy. I’m running home school mess hall breakfast and lunch. And gym class well I gotta go scoop up the dog crap and check on the boys.

The flexibility with music and gym is nice. 20,000 steps is pretty healthy. Is that daily?

I also found the lunch interesting. Do you provide lunch to others or is that lunches you make for various lunches through the week?
