Ryan Academy Reopening Plan
Classroom learning is the heart of why we’re together at Ryan Academy. Our plan is to accommodate and encourage social distancing in learning spaces, taking advantage of Ryan’s already small class sizes, large campus and our available classroom spaces. We are working to adjust layouts within classrooms, identify and relocate some classes to larger rooms, and possibly even re-purpose some spaces like the gym that aren’t typically used as classrooms.
We are also making plans to use technology in order to provide flexibility should students need to miss class for health reasons. Having these tools in place will also allow for continuity of instruction if public health considerations warrant additional steps – for example a short suspension of in-person classes for increased cleaning and testing.
Professional development opportunities for faculty are currently being offered this summer, and more are being planned. Students will also have resources and support for engaging in different types of teaching and learning.
Resources will be available to ensure that students who have symptoms of an illness or have been quarantined can be absent physically from the class but maintain progress with their work.
In line with state guidance, Ryan’s policy regarding face coverings is to encourage them, and to ask any faculty, staff or students, when appropriate, to wear them when social distancing is not possible.
In accordance with Governor Northam's and State Health Commissioner M. Norman Oliver's Order of Public Health Emergency, we are actively developing our reopening plan to submit to the Virginia Commission of Private Education for approval. As more information becomes available we will immediately notify you.
