Students will not report to their buildings during the week of Thanksgiving. Students will learn remotely on Monday, November 23rd and Tuesday, November 24th and will be off school the rest of the week. Teachers will assign asynchronous work for students on those two days, which means students will not have any set times they need to join a zoom class. Students will do the work on their own time.
