We are excited to see our students back in the classroom this Monday, August 24. As a reminder about the expectations this year, We ask that students wear masks on the bus; entering and leaving the building; in the hallways; and anywhere else that we cannot totally socially distance. It would be great if everyone wore masks throughout the school day as they have been shown to reduce the risk of the virus spreading. We are also trying to cut down on visitors to the bare minimum as well and ask that they wear masks while on campus. If you need to drop off something for your student or to get them a message, the building office of your child’s school will be more than happy to help. One of the other vital moves you can make to keep everything as safe as possible is to keep your student at home if they have a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher or have other symptoms. I would like to personally thank everyone for being patient and understanding as we work together to deal with these circumstances beyond our control. Once again, please stay home if you are sick!

I wanted to share some information about our virtual learning option. Students who select this option will have a two week grace period to change their minds and come back to seated learning. After that time, students will be expected to stay in the virtual mode until at least the end of the quarter to complete the grading period. This will help us effectively plan and schedule. Virtual students will be expected to log in daily and will have the same assignment deadlines as seated students. They will also not be able to visit campus during the school day. In addition, students who choose virtual learning will not be able to participate in extracurricular activities while in that status. This will include athletics and any activities that are not a part of a student’s course grade.
