PARENT GUIDE TO BCS REOPENING OF SCHOOLS
BCS is committed to providing options to help all students reach their full potential. Therefore, if parents decide not to send their child to back to the school buildings during the COVID-19 crisis, the parents can choose Birmingham City Schools virtual school and continue their academic progress.
The students in this option will be taught by BCS teachers. However, students who enroll in BCS Virtual Schools will not have the ability to transfer to the district’s chosen learning option until the end of the nine-week period. At the end of this period, students will have the choice to remain in the BCS Virtual School or return to the district’s learning options (traditional, remote, or blended).
VIRTUAL SCHOOL
• Students who choose this option will be enrolled full-time in virtual learning at home for at least the first grading period.
• Students participating in this option will be taught by BCS teachers and will be required to remain in this option for at least nine weeks.
