MODELS OF LEARNING - Next year, if COVID is still a risk, there will be a blended model in which students will attend in person instruction two days a week and will then engage in remote learning two days a week. IF there is NO RISK of COVID-19, students will return to a traditional model 5 days a week. In the blended model, students will either attend Monday/Tuesday or Thursday/Friday. There will be daycare options available for students for families who need care. The cost will be $30.00/ day for each child.
REMOTE INSTRUCTION - A remote learning option will also be available for families as well. The child will not come to the school, but rather engage in an online model.
PARENT SURVEY - Please take the parent survey that Dan Snowberger sent out regarding the different types of models for students. This survey will help us plan our master schedule. Beginning Tuesday, we will contact families via phone if you have not had a chance to take the survey yet.
