5 Day In-Person Instruction Update
Starting Thursday, April 8, approximately 65% of our students will be returning to 5 day, in-person instruction. The other 35% of students will remain fully remote. Students will remain in these models until the end of the school year.
Thursday, April 8th will be DAY 1 of the cycle. Friday will be Day 2. We will then continue to follow the normal six-day cycle for the rest of the year. The Shift calendar will no longer be in use.
Bell Schedule: We will continue to use the current bell schedule at the middle level, which runs from 7:25am – 1:15pm. All students will continue to be dismissed at 1:15pm each day.
UPDATED Attendance Guidelines – Beginning Thursday, April 8th
- Students who are signed up for 5 day in-person instruction must attend in-person in order to be marked present.
- Students who are signed up for 5 day in-person that do NOT attend in-person will be marked absent, even if they sign-in online. The exception to this rule will be students who are at home due to mandatory quarantining.
- Remote students must login to every class on Zoom at their scheduled times, and complete their work, in order to be marked present.
Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up
Student drop-off will begin at 7:15am. Students are not permitted to enter the building before this time, so we ask that parents do not arrive much earlier than 7:10am. We ask that all cars remain in a single file line and pull as far forward as you can along the front curb before waiting for a staff member to allow students to unload. Please make sure students are ready to unload when you pull-up in front of the school. Once you unload, please proceed forward in a single file line. We are asking for your patience as we will now have more cars in line. Students must be in homeroom by 7:25am.
Student pick-up will begin at 1:10pm. We ask that families do not arrive much earlier than 1:00pm. Please remember to form two lines in our pick-up area. Again, we are asking for your patience as we will now have more cars in line and many more students exiting the building for pick-up.
Mask Guidelines
Please be sure all in-person students are in compliance with the updated mask guidelines.
