• Students will have access to the campus at 8:45am, unless they are taking a zero period (some 11^th & 12^th grade IB students only) or are with a coach for a sports practice.
• Dismissal is 3:50pm Mon,Tue,Thu,Fri and 2:50pm on Wednesdays.
• Block Scheduling – Nease still plans to implement block scheduling and it will work well even with COVID changes. Students will attend 4 classes/day for 4 days a week and all 7 classes on Wednesdays, so they will see each teacher 3 times during the week. Our blocked days will reduce exposure to students in class and during passing time. The days of the week (green/gold) are designated to accommodate students who are taking dual enrollment courses on Tue/Thu or M/W/F at St Johns River. Please see the bell schedule below. 
• Our crosswalk has been moved from the parent loop entrance to the entrance of the bus loop.

• All students must properly wear a mask upon arrival to school.
• Students riding the bus will have their temperature checked before they enter either gate at the bus loop. Students with a fever will be escorted to the nurse’s office.
• Students driving to school will enter campus through a single gate in front of C-pod. Students will have their temperature taken and those with a fever will report to the nurse’s office.
• Students who are parent drop-off will enter through the gate by the main office. Students will have their temperature taken and those with a fever will report to the nurse’s office.
• Students sent to the nurses’ office will sit for a few minutes and will have their temperature retaken by the nurse. If the temperature reading is within the normal range, the student will be allowed to attend class. If the temperature is still high, then a parent will be notified to pick-up the child. The Department of Health will provide guidance for return to school in collaboration with school nurses.
• Students must wear a mask on campus unless they can socially distance the required 6 feet. 
• The cafeteria and media center will both be open in the morning. Students in the cafeteria will have to sit one person per section of table.

• Students will have 6 minutes between classes. 
• Students must properly wear a mask.

• On blocked days (M,T,Th&F) we will have four lunches. Students will be allowed to eat in the cafeteria, O-pod courtyard, amphitheater, PAC courtyard, and with a pass in the media center or ROTC room to help with social distancing. Students would have to sit in these outdoor spaces and would not be allowed to roam.
• On Wednesdays after we have sufficiently trained students the first month of school, we will have EXCEL time for 63mins in the middle of the day. EXCEL is a time to eat lunch, attend club meetings, seek extra help from teachers, complete make-up work with teachers, take make-up or retake summatives, get homework done, study with friends, do research in the media center, see a school counselor, etc. More information regarding EXCEL will be sent later.

• Students must properly wear a mask.
• Staggered dismissal
• 3:47pm – Seniors released (SR privilege)
• 3:50pm – Students walking, driving, parent pick-up or who ride the first round of buses will be released.
• 3:55pm – Students who ride the 2^nd round of buses will be released.
• ·Our cross walk was relocated this summer, so all walkers must leave campus through the bus loop.

• Students will have to be approved for this option by school administration. A student’s attendance, grades, program of study, and work during virtual learning last spring will be taken into consideration.
• This option is for the 1^st 9 weeks grading period. Students can re-apply to stay an additional quarter. Students who are not successful 1^st quarter would not be allowed to continue 2^nd quarter.
• According to the Emergency Order, distance learning attached to the school is only available for 1^st semester and students must be provided the same pacing and rigorous instruction as the brick and mortar students.
• Class attendance will be taken and grades will be calculated in the same manner as brick and mortar.
• Not all courses lend themselves to distance learning through Nease due to hands-on activities/labs, cooperative learning projects, specialized computer software and equipment, and physical participation. When teachers provide the best instruction possible through distance learning, we still can’t guarantee that there would not be differences that could affect performance on an AP, IB, or certification exam. Therefore, many high-level courses including honors, Pre-IB, Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses along with academy courses will not be available.  
• Students can choose option 2 and attend Nease for courses not available through distance learning, if transportation is available. Students may not “hang out” at Nease waiting for a ride or the next class.
• Students can still participate in sports and after school activities.

• Students withdraw from Nease and are a full-time St Johns Virtual School student.
• There is an application process. I would recommend checking their course catalog for course offerings.
• This option is for a semester or an entire school year.
• The teachers are NOT Nease teachers. 
• SJVS teachers provide instruction aligned to State Standards and follow the district’s pacing guide.
• Nease has always allowed full-time St Johns Virtual students to take elective courses on campus, IF there is room in the course.
• Students can participate in sports at Nease.

• Students withdraw from Nease and are registered with St Johns County School District as a home school student.
• This option is for a semester or an entire school year.
• Parent provides or finds curriculum for their child.
• Nease has always allowed home schooled students to take elective courses on campus, IF there is room in the course.
• Students can participate in sports and after school activities at Nease.
