As COVID-19 continues to flip individuals’ lives upside down, one thing that has dramatically changed is virtual student’s daily lives.

“On school days, I still get up and do my normal morning routine, I get up, shower and eat breakfast,” senior Cory Rivoli said. “I log onto my Chromebook at 7:20 and start my Zoom classes for the day.”

Virtual students in the district are following the same schedule as the in-person students, including passing periods and lunch schedules, but with the addition  of ‘Office Hours’ at times

“There are definitely some positive aspects to virtual school. Every now and then a class will have office hours when the students are not required to attend the Zoom; however, the teacher will still log on in case a student has a question,” Rivoli said. “We also get a couple minutes in between class periods so I’m able to get something to eat or use the restroom if necessary.”

Resembling in person students’ work loads, virtual students have online assignments every hour for classes as well as online homework assignments most nights.

“After I’m done with school I usually have a lot of homework from my classes. I try to get all my homework out of the way so I’m able to hangout with friends or play xbox,” Rivoli said.

With virtual learning being new to both teachers and students some logistics are being figured out as the school year advances.

“The most difficult thing about virtual school is having to learn and use multiple platforms,” Rivoli said. “Adjusting to everything online is definitely a change, but my advice would be to take it day by day and just roll with it.”
