Every year on the Thursday of Open House, our Chips have an asynchronous learning day. What is asynchronous you might ask? Asynchronous learning days are regular school days but online. Students are not on campus, but rather at home, completing assignments through Google Classroom assigned by their teachers that are due at the end of a regular school day. Our incredible teachers are available via email during asynchronous learning days to answer questions or help any student that may be struggling with their assignment. Many Chips at Chapelle love these asynchronous days and spend the time that they aren’t learning having fun.
These days provide our Chipmunks with the same learning experience that they would receive on a normal school day, but from their beds or couches! Kendall Allen, a student in 10th grade here at Chapelle, had this to say about asynchronous learning: “Asynchronous is a virtual way for me to communicate with my teachers and still be able to learn from home.” These days serve benefits to all members of the Chapelle family including our awesome faculty and staff. One of our teachers in the English Department, Jaclyn Casanova, said this about asynchronous learning days: "I enjoy asynchronous learning because it allows the teachers to get set up for Open House in a timely manner and be fully prepped and prepared for the big day."
Overall, asynchronous learning days give the whole Chapelle family a relaxing way to learn and complete lessons at home and at their own pace. It is a useful substitute for days that students are not able to be on campus, but still need to stay on track for their class curriculums. It gives students and teachers time to prepare for the big events that will usually take place after an asynchronous day without the concern of missing a day of school.
