11/15 Naquag News/Reminders/Pics
Hello Naquag Families!
November weather is here; chilly days with early dark hours. We were certainly fortunate to have those bonus Indian Summer days earlier this month.
We are excited and looking forward to our hybrid instruction to begin this week (Cohort B - Thursday and Friday). We encourage you to refer to our Naquag Reopening Plan - 11/18/2020 for specific details and information. Classroom teachers will also be sharing additional classroom details in the upcoming days too.
Please see below for a quick “summary” of our upcoming hybrid and remote instruction model, starting Wednesday November 18.
Stay well, you and yours!
