In-Person Learning 5 Days a Week
Beginning this week, students who are signed up for in-person learning will be in school for the full 5 days each week. This means that there will be no more Virtual Wednesdays. Students who have elected to remain Virtual will still remain Virtual. Please click here to read the full memo from the district.
Virtual Town Hall -- End of Year Updates -- Wednesday April 14

F2F Reminders
We have had a great first transition back for in-person learning! Virtual learning will continue to be an an option offered for all all students. Please note that F2F students can switch to Virtual at any time, however, such a switch would be for the remainder of the school year. Students who have chosen to remain Virtual cannot switch to F2F -- this is to preserve current class sizes and to allow us to run school operations as consistently and as safely as possible.
