Feb. 4, 2021 Update

Dear Families,

Welcome to Bend-La Pine Schools’ Comprehensive Distance Learning option for high school. We are excited to serve our high school students and provide this option that allows students a chance to stay connected with district teachers and students, while learning remotely.

Learn more about our program: High School District CDL Website

At the heart of our District CDL program, are Bend-La Pine Schools teachers, who will be teaching students core content via live WebEx instruction and assigned work through Canvas. Elective courses will be offered through Bend-La Pine Schools Online using the FuelEd/Peak platforms.

Wendy McCulloch, secondary principal for the District CDL program, is creating the high school schedule. She is coordinating with high school counselors to examine the schedules for all students enrolled in the District CDL program.As a team, they are determining needs to create individualized course schedules. We will then build each student’s daily schedules.Once this is complete, individual teachers will reach out to families with schedules and course details. We expect you to hear from teachers by the end of the day Tuesday, Feb. 9, if not sooner. We expect instruction to begin by Thursday Feb 11.

We know that many of you may have additional questions and we hope to connect with you in the coming days and weeks as we partner to create a meaningful learning experience for your student.

All the best,

Juan Cuadros, Executive Director of Teaching and Learning

Schedules & Format

Students experience the same amount of instructional time over the course of the semester. The main difference is students will have fewer classes for each six week period.
Consistent weekly schedule.
The schedule format will be consistent throughout the year, even if we are able to transition to some in-person instruction.
iPads will come equipped with Canvas, the learning platform for 6-12 grade students. Students will also use WebEx for live instruction with teachers and social interaction with peers.

Student Learning Day

Students will be engaged in teacher-facilitated learning Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.

Live Instruction

Students have live WebEx meetings every day (Monday/Thursday morning, Tuesday/Friday afternoon) additional meeting times will be scheduled by teachers as needed. These are fixed schedule, live, teacher-directed and interaction focused sessions where students are "in class".
Students will typically be "live on WebEx" for 30-45 minutes of each class period.
If a student is unable to access the live lesson, content will be available by the end of the teacher workday through Canvas, our learning management system.
