Students Return to In-Person Learning
Below you will find the schedules for K-4 Core classes. After the school district has established guidelines for grades 6-12, we will begin scheduling grades 5-12 for onsite classes as well. Because our PREP classes are multi-grade 5/6, we will schedule those grades together for an onsite schedule.
The days and times for grades K – 4 are listed below. The length of time a student stays onsite depends on if the student is taking one, or both, Core ELA and Math classes for that grade. The inclusive times below would be for students taking both ELA and Math Core classes. You will be notified of your child’s exact cohort group and schedule soon.
Kindergarten – Mondays, beginning February 22, 9:00 – 11:30
Remote Plus - Mondays, beginning February 22, 9:30 – 11:00
1st Grade – Thursdays, beginning February 25, 8:45 – 11:40
2nd Grade – Thursdays, beginning March 11, 8:45 – 11:40
