At Battle Creek Public Schools, the health and safety of our students, families and staff members is our top priority as we consider the best ways to resume learning for the rest of the school year.
Current plans for a return to in-person instruction are:
- Grades Pre-K–5 are engaging in fully in-person learning, five days per week.
- Grades 6–12 are participating in in-person learning using a hybrid scheduling model, meaning they attend in person two days per week and engage in remote learning three days per week.
- Adult Education are engaging in in-person learning.
All families have the option to opt their students into the self-paced Virtual Academy, if they do not wish to return to in-person schooling.

For Grades K–5
Elementary school students not enrolled in Virtual Academy are participating in face-to-face instruction. Students attend school in person, five days a week, with the same safety measures and precautions that were in place this fall.
For Grades 6–12
All middle school and high school students are participating in a hybrid model, meaning students attend school in person two days per week and engage in remote learning three days per week. Cohort 1 students attend in person on Mondays and Tuesdays and Cohort 2 students attend in person on Thursdays and Fridays. All students attend remotely on Wednesdays. Please check Skyward for your students cohort assignment.
On remote learning days, students utilize a blend of pre-recorded and live Google Classroom sessions, small group sessions, breakout groups with classmates, virtual lessons, online assignments and more.
Virtual Academy is an option for families who would prefer that their children participate in school online only for the rest of the 2020-21 school year.
