Both the elementary in person and online programs follow the same daily 7:30 a.m.-2:45 p.m. school day hours. K-2 teachers in both programs also use the same rigorous elementary academic programming components for English or Spanish Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Imagine Learning, and core enrichment that you may have observed during recent remote instruction.
In terms of differences, the elementary in-person program provides increased time for synchronous live instruction with your child’s teacher following CDC safety protocols along with the use of some technology during the school day. As part of the online at home learning program, your child benefits from daily synchronous live instruction with a small group of students during a scheduled time for reading and math along with a daily and weekly asynchronous instructional schedule that will continue to include content videos and paper-based activities.
K-2 students and families beginning in-person instruction starting Monday, September 28 will receive communication from their elementary campus to attend an orientation session the week of September 21 as well as what materials students should bring with them for the first day of in-person instruction.
Regardless of your decision for in-person or remote instruction, YES Prep is committed to providing your child a college-ready education starting in grades K-2.
