K-2 Weekly Schedules

This is a sample schedule of what a week might be like for a student. Keep in mind that due to the flexible nature
of distance learning, the times suggested are for demonstration purposes. Students can work at a time that
best fit their schedule and that of their families, with the exception of the synchronous class times, which would
be planned at the beginning of each school year.

Expectations:

• Students are expected to log in and work daily.
• Students in this grade band have an adult facilitator to assist them throughout the day, either at a tech center or at home (facilitators will be given supplemental instruction guides to use each week).
• Student schedules should allow for a synchronous online class session daily.

Daily Schedule ‐ Monday‐Friday

NOTE: The Mercury model allows for students to work independently on learning paths prescribed to address
individual student needs. However, within these paths, all students are addressing state standards on a paced
schedule, allowing for strong class and community‐building opportunities each week.

8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
Parent and student log in to check for email communications and to view class announcements and
calendar for the day. Parent reviews the weekly checklist with the student.

9:00 a.m. ‐ 9:30 a.m.
Student logs in to the online class session with the teacher. The teacher reviews activities from the previous day and
checks for understanding. The new lesson is then presented to the students in an interactive format using the online tools. 

9:30 a.m. ‐ Remainder of school day
With the assistance of the parent facilitator, students work on each lesson assigned by the teacher.
For help with the lessons, students and parents can email the instructor or use the online chat feature
during the school day. The parent should guide the student from activity to activity according to the
suggested schedule provided by the teacher. 

2:00 (or within time window specified by teacher)
Each parent/student team should contact the teacher in the manner that has been established.
(Depending upon student need and scheduling, this could be in the online classroom, via the class chat
tool, on the telephone, or even sometimes via email.) The teacher reviews the progress made and
suggests any follow‐up in terms of enrichment or remediation.
