Whitney Families-
We are bringing students back to the building and I know you have a lot of questions. We have some Q & A sessions set up to answer these questions. On Thursday 2/11/21, we have a Q & A session for tutoring groups only @5:30 p.m. Please use this LINK. Tutoring groups will end on March 1st.
The week of March 1st we will bring back K/1/2 students in a Hybrid model. We have a cohort A group on Monday/Tuesday and a cohort B group on Thursday/Friday. We are making phone calls now to find out if you are interested in having your child return in a Hybrid model. We will have a Q & A session on Thursday, February 18th at 6 p.m. in English and 7 p.m. in Spanish to explain more details of the Hybrid model. Students that are in opposite cohorts will still have the expectation to do their work in their google classroom. A link will come out next week for this Q & A session.
If you do not want to have your child return to a Hybrid model, you will need to enroll in the Edgenuity program at Discovery Lab for a full remote learning opportunity. You will need to begin that transfer by clicking the link below.

If you have any questions for us feel free to reach out. You can ask any question on the district's Lets Talk app or call our office at any time.
Please continue to watch our Facebook page (link below) as well as our Whitney web page at ysd7.org/Whitney, for regular updates about what is happening at Whitney.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Newell and Mr. Hunt
