Distance Learning Background Information
    a. Number of Instructional Days (3.b)

Each charter school shall operate for the required 180 days of instruction pursuant to Executive Order 2020-41 (3.b). An exception to this
requirement may be granted by the ASBCS, if the school intended to switch to a different schedule for the 2020-2021 school year. If ASBCS
previously approved the school to operate on a calendar that was not 180 days, but met the number of hours equal to 180 days of instruction,
this provision is still met, and no action is required.

                                                                                                                                                   2
Incito Schools Distance Learning Plan 2020-2021

If the school intended to switch to a different schedule for the 2020-2021 school year, but has not yet been approved by the ASBCS, please
contact your Education Program Manager.

Please note, pursuant to Executive Order 2020-44 the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) shall conduct an analysis of the need to waive the
number of school days that schools are required to provide schooling and the impact of such a waiver by August 31, 2020.

 How many instructional days will the charter school operate for School Year 2020-2021?                                            180
 How many instructional days did the charter school operate for School Year 2019-2020?                                             180

Incito Schools Distance Learning Plan 2020-2021

 We intend to operate distance learning from August 4-August 17, 2020. Once the Governor allows schools to reopen, families can choose
 either the distance learning option for their learners or in person instruction. We are offering both learning opportunities.

 Is the charter requiring students to do distance learning?                                                                                          Yes
 If students are required to do distance learning, is the charter school providing a physical location for students to go                            Yes
 during the same hours of the day AND the same days throughout the week as it did in the FY2020 school year prior to
 the school closure?
*In the case of a statewide closure or delay of in-person instruction, the requirement to provide a physical location available for students is waived under the
Executive Order 2020-41 until the State permits in-person instruction. If due to a COVID-19 outbreak and pursuant to A.R.S. § 36-787, the Arizona Department of
Health Services directs a school to close temporarily in order to appropriately sanitize the facility, the requirement to provide a physical location available for
students is waived.

Attendance Tracking (1.a.i, 1.i)
    a. Describe how the charter school will track attendance for students attending remotely, whether full time or intermittently.
       The description must include the specific measures that will be used to determine whether a student participating in DL will be reported
       as present or absent on days when instruction does not take place in person. Attendance tracking may include methods such as:
                   § Communication with their teachers via telephone, ZOOM, MS Teams, or other digital meeting software.
                   § Student participation in a virtual meeting or classroom session (ZOOM, MS TEAMS, Google Meets, etc.)
                   § Daily assignments competed and submitted by the student.
                   § A parent attestation of documentation of time spent on educational activities.

The charter holder is advised that the ADE will continue to issue guidance on the topic of attendance, and should closely monitor updated
information related to these expectations. Current guidance can be found here: https://www.azed.gov/finance/school-finance-guidance-for-
covid-19/

If the Charter Holder currently operates an approved AOI, it must follow the AOI attendance requirements outlined by ADE and A.R.S. §15-808 for
students enrolled in the AOI.

Incito Schools Distance Learning Plan 2020-2021

 In addition to all benchmarks and assessments, Incito Schools has established Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) for all learners. Learners, in collaboration
 with their educators and parents/guardians establish academic goals aligned to reaching mastery. The ILPs are reviewed on an on-going basis with the
 learner, quarterly when progress reports are issued, as well as during Learner-Led Conferences (Fall & Spring).

Additional Information (Optional)
 The charter school may use this space to add any additional information it believes is key to the plan it has laid out in this document, or to highlight its
 efforts to provide a quality Distance Learning Plan to its students.
 In addition to the information listed in the plan above, learners also receive daily Physical Education instruction. This is provided through PE logs, videos,
 programs, etc. Incito Schools continues to participate in the National School Lunch program and learners have designated times to pick up breakfast and
 lunch. Educators are provided with a daily designated lunch and planning period. Incito continues to focus on building trust relationships with learners and
 focusing on teaching to the whole child. We are proud that we have created a plan that keeps this focus and ensures learners succeed academically,
 emotionally and socially.
