Forsyth County Schools will again offer students and their families a choice of learning environments for the 2021-22 school year, according to a press release.

Choices will determine staffing for thousands of school employees and 51,400-plus student schedules, so it is critical that families are confident and certain in their decision, say school officials. There will only be one chance, at the semester break in December/January, to make a change in a student’s learning environment for 2021-22.

The district recently sent a survey for parents to select the learning environment for their child for the next school year. Those with more than one child will need to complete a survey for each child. If a response to the survey isn’t submitted by Friday, April 30, the child’s placement will default to learning in-person at school for 2021-22.

Virtual learning will be very similar to what students experienced this year, with at least three or four live, synchronous sessions each day where students will be required to log in and participate throughout each of those class periods. Students will have a dedicated virtual teacher, but the teacher may not be from that student’s districted school.
