List Detail
Short Term (weather and other short-term conditions)
Virtual School goes into effect for all students in Grades 4 -12 after two consecutive canceled school days. Faculty members have prepared lessons and are ready to teach virtually if school is canceled on a third consecutive day. Faculty are mindful that after two days out of school, students may not have all of their classroom materials with them at home. Virtual School assignments are electronic or focus on a task a student can complete from home without additional materials.
When does it happen?
On the third day, after two full consecutive days of school have been canceled.
Who is involved?
Students in Grades 4-12.
How does it work?
The Sewickley Academy community will be notified via text message, email, and listings on the local news stations that our campus is closed. Students, parents, and visitors will not be able to access the buildings, including the Events Center and the libraries. An email will be sent to all students and families as soon as we know school will be canceled for a third day. The message will read as follows:
For Students in Grade Pre-K - Grade 3
Students should engage in free play, leisure reading, and other healthy activities.
For Students in Grades 4 and 5
By 10:00 a.m., parents will receive an email from the classroom teacher with instructions for the day.
Your teacher will tell you how to submit the work and whether you will need to hand it in electronically today or hand it in the next time you have class in person.
Your teacher is available for questions until 3:30 p.m.
Your teacher will post directions for you on how and where you should ask your questions.
For Students in Grades 6-12
Students and families will receive an email from the school with important information, announcements, the schedule, and the virtual check-in link. In the Middle and Senior Schools, it will be sent by the division offices. Students are asked to check-in no later than 10:00 a.m. via a Google Form link included in the email.
By 10:00 a.m. you should log into MySewickley and look at the class pages for each of the classes you are scheduled to have today. The easiest way to do this is to use the links on the MyDay screen after you log in.
Your teachers have left you news updates, assignments, and due date/times. Look at the Announcements section on the Bulletin page and look at the Assignments page to find them.
The average amount of total time on task per PANTHERS cycle for each course, including both synchronous and asynchronous learning, should range from 4-5 hours. Synchronous lessons should be kept to under 60 minutes.
