Hello. This is a brief overview of our next stages of student return to school. More details will be posted on our district web page soon. We are planning on keeping our daily time schedule the same, but adding additional student attendance days. Please understand the slow addition of students is to prevent complete school closures due to out breaks. The next phase will begin on Nov. 9th, with the return of Special Needs Students grades PreK-12, at risk students 6th-12th grade, Title and Tier 3 students. On Nov. 23rd we will bring Tier 2, RAP/MAP and failing students. On Dec. 7th all students will return for 4 days of instruction. Students will attend Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with Remote Learning on Wednesday still. We are working on additional details and will release information ASAP. As you know these plans may change, but we wanted to be transparent in what our current plans are at this time. We will continue to work hard to keep all staff and students safe.
