Craig and Parker High School Switch to a Cohort System
Craig junior Madelyn Viles, a member of cohort A, works on her Spanish 4 assignment during 7th hour on October 19. Cohorts have decreased class sizes in an effort to improve social distancing and to limit viral spread.
Starting on October 7, 2020 Craig and Parker High School will be switching to a cohort model due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
With this new system students will be split up into either cohort A or cohort B and will attend school every other day.
This new system will make it possible to maintain a physical distance so that school can remain face to face.
Many teachers will be using a flipped classroom model. Meaning that the remote education day students will work independently watching videos and doing homework independently. Then on the in person days they will get direct support and help from teachers.
The in person days the schedule will follow the 8-period bell schedule with two lunches. Students who are eligible can still eat off campus.
Milton High School has been using a similar system since the beginning of the year. The only major difference is that Milton has cohorts organized by last name and Craig’s cohorts are generated by an infinite campus to keep even amounts of students in the classrooms.
