2 | HYBRID LEARNING UPDATE
We have completed the first semester of this 2021-2022 Academic Year. Over 20 weeks or so, our students experienced a variety of school mode settings. We started with whole online learning and, after a short period, moved to hybrid learning with varying school hours for Grade 6 to Grade 12 students. We then opened hybrid learning for students for Grade 5 and below. The last few weeks have allowed for a significant number of our students a sense of regular school, as regular as a three-day onsite and two-day online school can be.
Hybrid Learning
Progress
As we start our second semester of school, we are now preparing our school facilities for our students to move to more normal school learning. Normal school learning is a five-day-aweek school attendance with regular school hours, with all students being welcome on-site and in the building for face-to-face learning. We have been long waiting for this final transition to herald the start of a return to normal. Over the past 21 months, we learned that we could survive and even thrive, a little for some and a lot for others, in a digital environment with minimal in-person interaction. But we are also absolutely convinced that digital interaction is a very dim replication of real in-person interaction filled with the verbal and non-verbal nuances lost in the endemic of poor net connection. We are excited to have students return to the building for their learning is an understatement. We are ecstatic to return to busy and noisy classrooms, where students can enjoy learning alongside their friends and teachers. We are thrilled to return to regular school days every day of the week where teachers and students can daily encourage and propel one another towards progress. We are thankful for the KV Community (teachers, staff, and parents) that continue to work together to ensure the betterment of all the students safely and healthily. Above all, we remain grateful that the Lord remains faithful to us in His protection and care for each of us. Mrs. Carol Souisa Academic Principal
