To facilitate final staffing, scheduling, and other needs, we need direct information regarding your student(s) and whether they will be coming back into the building or staying remote.𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. If you desire in-person, please choose it now. Switching to in-person later will not be an option due to the impact to staffing and class size.
𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝟐/𝟏𝟔/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏. If you do not make a selection, your student will remain in remote learning for the remainder of the school year.

If the District implements the 8AM-11AM schedule, remote students will have interventions and asynchronous work in the morning and remote learning will take place with the teacher via Zoom from 12PM-3PM. With this schedule, all students will have lunch from 11AM-12PM. In-person students will be responsible for completing asynchronous work and/or interventions in the afternoon between 12PM-3PM while the remote students are online with the teacher.
If the 8AM-12PM option is implemented, both in-person and remote students will learn together with the teacher. Remote students will join the class via Zoom as usual. With this schedule, all students will have lunch at home from 12PM-1PM and return online via Zoom for interventions from 1:00PM-2:00PM.
Again, the schedule implemented will be determined by parent responses for in-person or remote learning. If you have questions, please call the school office at 815-726-6156.
