RETURNING TO IN-PERSON LEARNING / REMOTE PATHWAY
We are excited about welcoming our in-person learners back to campus on January 19. Parents who plan for their child NOT to return in-person on January 19 must let us know by completing the Remote Learning Selection Form linked below or by contacting the school office.  Even if your child ended the first semester as a remote learner, you still MUST let us know for him/her to continue as a remote learner.   You ONLY need to complete this form if you are selecting the remote learning pathway for your child. If your child is returning in person, you do not need to do anything at this time.

Please review information below if you are considering a remote pathway for your child. 

·         Hopefully you have had the opportunity to review your child’s report card, which is available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and was mailed to homes last week. If your child is not passing all subjects or has a significant number of absences, we strongly encourage you to choose the in-person pathway. Dr. Christian, Mr. Mustard, and teachers are available to assist you in making this decision based on the specific needs of your child. 

·         Please submit your remote learning request prior to Friday, January 15. 

·         We want every student to have the greatest opportunity for success! Thank you for your continued partnership!
