Return to in-person Hybrid Learning- March
- March 2nd, students in Kinder and 1st grade
- March 9th, students in 2nd and 3rd grade
- March 16th, students in 4th and 5th grade
- Students will attend school 2 days out of the week depending on their assigned cohort.
- Our school hours are 10:30am to 3:30pm.
We are diligently working on implementing some changes here at Grant and letting you know what those are before students return. Here are a few things you should know:
- We will be releasing a video shortly about what a typical day will look like during Hybrid Learning. You will be able to locate this video on our YouTube channel.
- All students will need to wear face coverings/masks unless a student has a medical condition that we are aware of.
- We ask that you leave all of your current school supplies and Chromebooks at home. We will be providing basic supplies to use while at school. These are to be kept here at school and will only be used by an individual student.
- We have made adjustments to our drop off and pick up process. You will see this soon in a video that we will share with families.
- Each household will receive a family survey via email to obtain feedback and hear your concerns. Please take the survey after watching all of the return to Hybrid Learning videos.
