If families in Maroa-Forsyth elect for their high schoolers to do learning remotely this fall, they will be doing their learning with their peers, but from home.

Thanks to the developments of technology, the high school will be bringing in their home-learners, contrary to how many districts are offering remote learning this fall. Maroa-Forsyth High School Principal Brice Stewart told Regional Radio News on the WHOW Morning Show Monday their kids are going to have a class schedule and they will be required to be "in class" virtually.

One of the challenges with this style of learning will be families and their access to the necessary technology and wireless internet to attend class. Stewart explains they are going to work with those families to provide them with the internet access required to do the remote learning.

Once COVID is gone and learning returns to normal, Stewart could see this type of instruction working in the future. He says other districts are going the extra mile with it.

Students will be in the high school building four days a week for a shortened schedule on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. All students will be required to mask and maintain social distancing. 

The first day of student attendance has been adjusted to begin Monday, Aug. 31.
