As you know, our Administrative Team meets consistently and has been monitoring the Health Department's Benchmarks for schools. We consider these benchmarks, along with the needs of our community, to determine our next steps. No decision is made lightly, and we know that in some cases, there are hardships caused and sacrifices being made. At the top of my list of goals is a desire to ease us through this time by providing support and offering resources as much as possible. Please let me know if you have a need. If you are more comfortable doing so, reach out to a teacher or other staff member. We may not be able to solve all of the problems, but please know that we will do all that we can.
Thank you for your tireless efforts to work with us to make school a reality for our students, even if it is done virtually, and for trusting us with the education of your children. Though we know more about being effective than we did back in March, we are still learning and making adjustments as needed. Your feedback helps to guide us, so thank you to those who have shared it, and thank you in advance to all of you for continuing to make us aware of what we can celebrate and what we can do better. We know that virtual learning is not ideal for everyone, just as we know that no one instructional method works for all. We continue to do our best and are proud of our community for collaborating with us!
It has been decided that Kinder through 8th grade will remain in Phase 1, with support services and campus availability for our essential and vulnerable student populations, and our target date to return to Phase 3 is February 16, 2021.
