Spring Break
Spring Break for students begins April 1st. Students return to school on April 12th. Have a great break!!!!
Transition to Plan A
On Thursday, Chatham County Board of Education voted for students in grades 6-12 to return to school on Plan A. Students will return to face to face for 4 days a week beginning on April 19th. Students that have either an IEP/504, have the option to return to school 4 days a week beginning April 12th. Even though we are transitioning from Plan B to Plan A, we are expecting for your student to experience very little change.
Here is an overview of how Plan A will impact your student:
Virtual Academy Students
Students who participate in the Virtual Academy will continue to follow their same schedule and their teachers will remain the same.
Hybrid Students
We do not anticipate any schedule changes. Students will continue to follow their same schedule and their teachers will remain the same.
In-person instruction will take place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
Wednesdays, students will continue with asynchronous activities and small group instruction and tutoring through Zoom.
Given we will have double the amount of students, afternoon car rider may take a little bit longer.
For bus riders, there may be more than one student per seat
Please look at the Plan A FAQ for more information
If you have any questions, please contact the school and we would be happy to help!
Take Home Meals
Take home and Curbside Meals services will be changing the week of 3/29/21-4/1/21
Meals will not be sent home that week and parents will have to sign up for take home boxes for curbside locations on April 1st. More information can be found on our MBP Homepage.
