Educational Models
Our staff has planned three educational scenarios, On-site Learning, Distance Learning, and Hybrid Learning (a combination of the first two). We appreciate your flexibility as decisions on how to continue the school year may change weekly and you should be ready to adapt to those changes if/as they occur. Also, please know that regardless of the learning model we decide upon, school districts are required to offer “Distance Learning Choice” to families who may be medically vulnerable or otherwise unable or uncomfortable about returning to school throughout the year.
