Hybrid Schedule
(Updated 9/24/2020)
Finley’s hybrid learning model will include two cohorts, or groups (Cohort A and Cohort B). Half of Finley’s students will attend in-person classes 2 days per week (on their assigned A or B day), while the other half learn remotely. Wednesdays will remain designated remote learning days for ALL students and will allow for professional development for staff. (See table below.)

On September 14, 2020 the Benton Franklin Health District (BFHD) provided local schools with updated guidance about returning for in-person instruction. Using
preliminary data, the health district recommended that all schools in Benton County (as well as North Franklin School District) “plan for implementation of in-person hybrid learning models as early as Oct.1, 2020.” (Read the full BFHD letter here.)
Finley students are scheduled to begin returning to school in-person following a phased approach that focuses on bringing our youngest learners, as well as struggling students, back first. The updated plans incorporate the latest recommendations from the Benton Franklin Health District (BFHD), which recommend a phased re-entry of students during transition to in-person hybrid learning" as early as October 1st.(
Read the full BFHD letter here.) In Finley, this will begin with students in kindergarten starting their first day of hybrid learning on October 5, then phasing in grade bands each subsequent week as follows:

By November 2nd, all Finley students in kindergarten through 12th grade will have the opportunity to spend half their time in school and the other half engaged in remote learning at home.
Families who do not yet feel comfortable sending their student(s) back to school for in-person learning will have the opportunity to continue following a 100% remote learning model.
