Reedley has developed an agile mode of instruction that features synchronous classes for on-campus and off-campus classmates. This inclusive model expands the walls of a physical classroom to include students who may prefer to learn remotely.
To maximize student-teacher interaction and student collaboration, lessons and activities will be conducted by our teachers with a group of classmates in a face-to-face (F2F) setup while live streaming the class to the students in the distance learning (DLP) setup.
At the start of each term, parents and students will be given the option to participate either in the F2F setup or the DLP setup.
We are excited to have our students back on campus. For SY 2022-2023, Reedley is partly reverting to the pre-pandemic classroom setup. On most days of the school week, students in the F2F setup will attend classes in the physical classroom where they can be taught and monitored by their teachers in person.

Reedley continues to offer the exemplary Distance Learning Program (DLP) to students who feel more comfortable learning remotely. In a HyFlex classroom, students in the DLP will be attending the same class online as their classmates on-campus. This simultaneous learning from different settings aims to lessen learning gaps and promote student interaction crucial for effective learning.
Learn more about the DLP setup during HyFlex Learning:
Reedley continues to offer a myriad of off-screen and socialization activities for an engaging student life during full DLP: clubs, assemblies, contests, and other events.
Collaborative skills are crucial in a child’s growth and development. With this in mind, Reedley will look into opening F2F student activities while considering the health and safety of each student.
We value the health and safety of the whole Reedley community. We ensure that health and safety protocols are followed on-campus. Students, teachers, and staff are required to maintain social distancing and wear a mask at all times.
Vaccination will not be a requirement to join F2F classes. Reedley respects the individual rights of students and families to decide on this matter without prejudice to the opportunity to attain quality education via F2F or DLP.
Reedley is allowed to hold F2F classes at Alert Levels 1 and 2. Should Alert Level 3 or above be declared, Reedley will automatically revert to the full Distance Learning Program.
Young learners need to establish a routine to help hone their self-regulation skills. During HyFlex Learning, our Pre-K and Kindergarten students will attend F2F classes for 3 days per school week, and 2 days of online classes.
Face-to-Face Classes | Online Classes | |
AM Session |
3x a week 8:30-11:30 |
2x a week 8:30-11:30 |
PM Session |
3x a week 1:00-4:00 |
2x a week 1:00-4:00 |
All Pre-K and Kindergarten students are required to have the following individual gadgets as most assessments will be done digitally:
Students attending F2F classes will be allowed to connect to the school WiFi while students attending online classes are advised to have an internet connection of at least 10mbps (both download and upload speeds).
More details will be indicated in the student’s supplies list upon enrollment.
At the start of the school year, students in Grades 1 to 6 have 2 enrollment options: F2F Cohort or DLP Cohort. Ideally, this will be their cohort for the rest of the school year. Slots for the F2F Cohort are limited and are on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Students in the F2F cohort who will need to be absent from on-campus class for any reason may join the class via DLP for a predetermined amount of time for as long as it has been coordinated with the Office of the Principal.
Transferring to the F2F cohort may be requested and will be subject to the Principal’s approval based on the slots available at the time of application.
All Grade School students are required to have the following individual gadgets as most assessments will be done digitally:
Students attending F2F classes will be allowed to connect to the school WiFi while students attending online classes are advised to have an internet connection of at least 10mbps (both download and upload speeds).
More details will be indicated in the student’s supplies list upon enrollment.

With the HyFlex Learning model, our High School students may choose to participate in the F2F or the DLP setups. Both cohorts, although separated by physical distance, will be simultaneously learning from their teachers who will be holding classes on-campus. This way students in the DLP will be able to engage with their teachers as well as students in the F2F setup.
Each class’ F2F cohort will be divided into two groups—group A and group B. Each group will get the opportunity to attend F2F classes alternately. In the first week of the month, group A will be in F2F classes while group B will be doing DLP at home. The F2F class and instruction will be streamed to the students in the DLP setup. In the second week, group A and group B will switch roles. To illustrate this arrangement:
Group A (Students 1-15) |
Group B (Students 16-30) |
|
Week 1 | F2F |
DLP |
Week 2 | DLP |
F2F |
Week 3 | F2F |
DLP |
Week 4 | DLP |
F2F |
Meanwhile, students who chose the DLP cohort at the start of the term will stay at home and learn remotely regardless of the alternating F2F group schedule. Moreover, if group A is scheduled to be in the F2F setup and a student belonging to the group wishes to do DLP, the student may stay at home and join the class online. However, students who are scheduled for DLP for the week are not allowed to attend F2F classes and must only follow their designated schedule for F2F.
The F2F cohort grouping will be shuffled per grading period to allow students the maximum opportunity to interact with other classmates.
Classes start at 7:40 AM daily and end at 2:20 PM, except for Wednesdays when classes end at 1:00 PM.
Since some students will be alternating between F2F and DLP classes, it is essential that every student is equipped with the reliable tools to maximize the learning experience. All High School students are required to have the following individual gadgets:
