Instructions



Glendale Union High School District Distance Learning PlanOn June 24, 2020, Governor Ducey issued Executive Order 2020-41 Prioritizing Kids and Schools During COVID-19 regarding the reopening of schools for school year 2020-2021. As part of the Executive Order, all public schools may submit a Distance Learning Plan (DLP) to receive the flexibility to offer distance learning options for students without an approved Arizona Online Instruction (AOI) program for the 2020-2021 school year. School districts are required to submit a DLP to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) prior to implementing distance learning. School districts may begin operating their DLP upon submission of the plan to ADE. Charter schools are required to use the template provided by the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools (ASBCS) and must submit their DLP as specified in communications from ASBCS and each charter holder’s assigned Education Program Manager.School Districts may make revisions to improve their DLP at any time, but must submit those changes to the ADE within 10 business days of any substantive revision. School districts should contact the ADE at EmergencyDL@ to revise their DLP. A school district that has been approved to operate an AOI but plans to operate distance learning for students enrolled in a brick and mortar school must submit a DLP prior to beginning operations. School districts are required to submit a DLP to be eligible for the Governor’s Enrollment Stability Grant Program. InstructionsA school district that wishes to provide distance learning under Executive Order 2020-41 must create a DLP using this template, provided by the ADE. School districts not utilizing the appropriate template will be required to revise and resubmit their plans. Plans not submitted in the template must wait to begin DL instruction until the plan is submitted in the approved template. The template is a Word document that must be completed in its entirety and submitted via email to EmergencyDL@, as specified in communications from ADE. In the sections found on pages 3-5, a school district will populate background information regarding school district and school information, including basic information about each school district’s overall plan and intended number of instructional days.Most areas of the DLP will be completed by breaking processes into discreet, sequential action steps that answer the questions of what, who, when, and how. The action steps require the school district to name the action, indicate who is responsible for the action, provide the frequency and/or timing of the action, and identify what evidence will exist to show that the step has been/is being completed. Areas should include multiple action steps in order to demonstrate that the school district has a “detailed plan” to “provide substantive distance learning”, as required by the Executive Order. An example of a set of action steps for an area is below:The example above is not intended to demonstrate that these are specific action steps a school district should use, nor that this is the best or most appropriate number of action steps. Rather, it is provided as guidance to show the manner in which the template is to be completed.Other areas of the template will require the school district to check boxes to indicate specific tasks, strategies, or resources to be used for different stakeholders included in the distance learning process.School District Information*School districts are only required to submit one DLP. If individual schools within a district are providing unique instructional programs, we encourage school districts to incorporate that information into one DLP, as opposed to completing additional templates. Please contact EmergencyDL@ with any questions.

An exception to this requirement may be granted by the ADE, if the school intended to switch to a different schedule for the 2020-2021 school year. If ADE previously approved the school to operate on a calendar that was not 180 days, but met the number of hours equal to 180 days of instruction, this provision is still met, and no action is required. Please note, pursuant to Executive Order 2020-44 the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) shall conduct an analysis of the need to waive the number of school days that schools are required to provide schooling and the impact of such a waiver by August 31, 2020.How many instructional days will the school district operate for School Year 2020-2021?180How many instructional days did the school district operate for School Year 2019-2020?180Distance Learning Option (3.b)Estimated Enrollment for FY 202116,500Start Date for Distance LearningAugust 10, 2020Estimated Number of Students Participating in Distance Learning for the Full Yearapp. 2,000Estimated Number of Students Participating in Distance Learning for a Portion of the year16,500Please choose the option that indicates your proposed duration/plan for distance learning:?1.

We intend to operate distance learning only until the Governor allows schools to fully reopen.X 4. We intend to operate distance learning and use a hybrid approach once the Governor allows schools to fully reopen. Hybrid includes distance learning with students learning in the classroom on some days, and from home on other days (i.e. half of the students attend Mon/Wed and half of the students Tues/Thurs, half of the students come each week, etc.).?5. Other (Please explain below)If you chose option 4 or 5 above, please provide a brief narrative explaining the details of the plan you will use:Distance Learning will be utilized for all student courses beginning the school year. A link to the schedule has been provided. School Schedule 2020-2021 Those students that need a safe environment can come to the school and a learning location will be provided. Currently, students will be engaging in distance learning through September 4, 2020. If this date does not change, we will then move to a hybrid model with students wishing to return to campus coming on alternating days, while those students wishing to remain at home will be provided with continued distance learning instruction. Is the school district requiring students to do distance learning? YesIf students are required to do distance learning, is the school district providing a physical location for students to go during the same hours of the day AND the same days throughout the week as it did in the FY2020 school year prior to the school closure? Yes*In the case of a statewide closure or delay of in-person instruction, the requirement to provide a physical location available for students is waived under the Executive Order 2020-41 until the State permits in-person instruction. If due to a COVID-19 outbreak and pursuant to A.R.S. § 36-787, the Arizona Department of Health Services directs a school to close temporarily in order to appropriately sanitize the facility, the requirement to provide a physical location available for students is waived. Attendance Tracking (1.a.i, 1.i)Describe how the school district will track attendance for students attending remotely, whether full time or intermittently. The description must include the specific measures that will be used to determine whether a student participating in DL will be reported as present or absent on days when instruction does not take place in person. Attendance tracking may include methods such as:Communication with their teachers via telephone, ZOOM, MS Teams, or other digital meeting software.Student participation in a virtual meeting or classroom session (ZOOM, MS TEAMS, Google Meets, etc.)Daily assignments completed and submitted by the student. A parent attestation or documentation of time spent on educational activities.The school district is advised that the ADE will continue to issue guidance on the topic of attendance, and should closely monitor updated information related to these expectations.

This data is applied to all students for placement into regular, or honors. The data is also used to place students into our Math Lab course so that they can receive necessary additional assistance. Additional common unit benchmarks are used to verify placement and make any necessary changes. For students receiving special education services, additional data collection may be appropriate. The DORA and Pre-Algebra assessments through the Let’s Go Learn program will be administered to ensure appropriate benchmark data.The GUHSD Placement Exam is administered with a Google Form and is done online during registration and the first week of school. Additional benchmarks are common formative assessments given after every unit with data gathered for remediation and reteaching and then followed up with retesting throughout the course to show growth. These common assessments are administered utilizing Synergy, Google Forms, or Canvas. District assessments (final benchmark) will be completed in a face-to-face setting if possible; otherwise, it will be administered remotely. The district assessments are administered through Synergy. All common assessments and the final benchmark are created by Glendale Union High School District teachers. The DORA and Pre-algebra assessments through the Let’s Go Learn program can be accessed online. GUHSD Placement Exam:7/20 - 8/21Common Unit Assessments: Given every 1-2 weeks following the same calendar district-wide for each subject area.
