MBA SWITCHING TO REMOTE LEARNING MBA

In late July, Governor Newsom issued a state-wide mandate prohibiting schools – including public, charter, and private - located in counties on the California state watchlist monitoring for COVID-19 concerns to open for on-site learning.

Santa Cruz County has been placed on that list, which means Monterey Bay Academy cannot re-open for on-site learning, but we are still looking at any available options for us to re-open later this semester. It is our goal that we re-open soon, which is why we cannot estimate how long we will be doing remote learning.

Last spring, MBA offered crisis online classes; this fall, we have planned ahead and have acquired tools and resources to facilitate an organized remote learning program. We are committed to providing the best learning experience for our students.

RE-OPENING CAMPUS IN THE FUTURE

When we re-open campus, we will follow the State Guidelines and share the plan accordingly. We are planning on having a closed campus with dorm students only and continue remote learning for those who are unable to move into the dorms.

FINANCES

During the remote learning period, we will not be charging the cafeteria and dormitory fees for all of our students. We will work on each of our students’ financial plans on an individual basis. To get more information, please contact our Business Office at 831 728 1481 ext. 1212 or at maria@montereybayacademy.org if you have any questions. If you need additional financial aid, you can fill out our Financial Aid Application Form.

ONLINE SCHEDULES

MBA’s remote learning will be transitioning to a synchronous schedule (students will be attending classes in real-time). Here is the link to our Remote Learning Class Schedule 2020-2021.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

Students will need to log into their classes daily. Normal tardy and absences policies will apply.

HOMEWORK

Teachers will assign homework and provide the resources for students to complete their daily tasks. Teachers will coordinate with the Academic Support Committee to ensure that their class curriculum is appropriate and aligns with the student’s overall academic workload.

TEACHER AVAILABILITY

Teachers will be available during their standard class times and will have designated times to schedule individual appointments. Teachers will be available to students and parents by phone or email to provide help and support.

TEXTBOOKS

We will be providing digital textbooks for each class. Any supplemental materials such as workbooks will also be provided.

SPIRITUAL PROGRAMS

MBA will continue spiritual programs throughout the week with chapels, assemblies, and weekend programs. MBA values the social and spiritual aspects of every student’s life and will work to provide connection points for our MBA family.

EXTRACURRICULARS

All extracurricular classes are still on the schedule. Individual teachers will be working with the students registered in those classes and will communicate how the class will operate.

COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS

MBA will work with students to complete their community service hours for the fall semester. The Academic Office will communicate the details of approved activities to earn community service hours.

ORIENTATION DAY

We want all Freshmen and new students to join us for the special event on Thursday, August 13, at 6 pm PDT via Zoom.
