Swain Virtual Learning Plan for School Closures
Virtual Learning Expectations
2025 - 2026
2025 - 2026
Moravian Academy always prioritizes being in school. That said, we know that students anticipate snow days with great excitement.
We believe that students benefit from having unexpected snow days when school is fully canceled. Students and families should expect to have school canceled for one or two snow days, although those will not necessarily be consecutive or the first day we do not have school in person due to weather. Swain Campus leadership and teachers will share more detailed links if a virtual snow day occurs.
We have also seen the long-term benefits of virtual learning with remote classes if there are many snow days. On these days, students and families should adhere to the following expectations.
Overall Student Expectations:
- All students must sign on to Google Meet at the required times using the provided class codes and remain actively engaged in synchronous learning.
- To support active engagement, all virtual learning devices must be equipped with a camera and microphone.
- All students are expected to have their cameras on during virtual learning.
- Students are expected to contribute to classroom conversations; however, they should keep their microphone on mute when not speaking.
- Students should have access to any necessary materials provided by teachers prior to the start of the virtual learning day.
- Students should only use Swain campus-supported platforms for academic work and teacher-sanctioned communication.
- Students are encouraged to be proactive in reaching out to teachers when they have questions.
Beginning School (PreSchool-Kindergarten)
- After receiving notice from the Head of School about school closure and timelines, families will receive an email from the Campus Director’s Office with division-specific information.
- The primary tools for communication between teachers and families will be email and Google Meet. Kindergarten will also use SeeSaw.
- Classroom teachers will hold a synchronous virtual morning meeting at 9:00 am.
- A specialist session is also required at 10:30 am. Attendance will be taken.
