Monday through Thursday will be live, synchronous learning. Each teacher will determine if Friday will be synchronous, asynchronous, or no work required. Teachers will post whether a class will be synchronous or asynchronous on Fridays in a Google Classroom announcement and the Family Portal homework section. There will be no Home Group on Fridays. The campus will be closed to all students on Friday, allowing TKA to disinfect the campus before the next cohort begins the following week.
Staff and Students will fill out the COVID-19 Response Form in the FACTS Family Portal (School Home→Web Forms) indicating they are not ill and are symptom-free by answering NO to all of the following questions each day before coming to school. If any answer is "YES," staff or students must remain home and contact the school at SAO@tka.org for further instructions.

For those who elect to participate in the on-campus hybrid learning model, students will be divided into two cohorts, Blue and Gold. Cohorts will be assigned with the priority of keeping siblings together and carpools together. Friend groups may be considered after all other priorities are met.
Cohorts will begin attending school on campus starting Monday, October 26, and attend school for four consecutive days, Monday through Thursday. Friday will be a work from home day allowing TKA to disinfect the campus before the other cohort begins the following Monday, November 2. Cohorts will continue to rotate for the remainder of the semester.
Students who are in cohorts will be required to:
Parents with students in cohorts will be required to:
Note these stipulations are required to preserve the health and safety for those on-campus:
TKA's Hybrid Learning Health & Safety Plan linked here details what steps TKA will take to ensure public health guidelines are met, how we will sanitize the campus, and protocols for if someone becomes sick while at school or if there is a COVID-19 exposure on campus. After reading the plan, if you still have questions, please email Matt Nisbet, Director of Operations. We are here to answer your questions and to serve your family.
A hybrid learning model, with live feed using Webex and Cisco PresenterTrack, will allow us to support students whose families choose to keep their student home. Remote learning will also help students who must be temporarily absent due to a health concern where on campus attendance is not recommended or allowed. The student can still work from home, continue with instruction remotely, and not fall behind.
TKA has installed Cisco PresenterTrack to improve the remote learning experience. Watch this short demo to see how it works! Teachers can teach from their classrooms and the camera will automatically follow them and focus on what they are doing. This experience will be a significant improvement over Zoom. TKA invested $300,000 into new software and hardware to deliver this enhanced experience and is the only school in California using this technology!
These guidelines are from SCCPHD.
