Dear Families,
A few reminders for you this week:
- Any changes, from in-person to online or from online to in-person need to be confirmed with office staff. If no change is requested, students will stay in their current instructional model. Understand that this will be a semester long commitment. The window to request change is 10/28-11/16.
- Tutoring is up and running and we had good attendance in the first week. For more details about tutoring, see the tutoring section below. Additionally, the link to sign up is posted on our website.
- If your student is feeling sick, please keep them home.
- If anyone in your home is in an active quarantine, we would ask that you please notify the front office with as much information as possible as soon as possible.
- If anyone in your home has a positive COVID test, please notify us immediately.
The safety of your student and all students is our number one priority. Our goal is to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. Please continue to remind students that all safety procedures and protocols apply to before school, during school, and after school, including while on the bus.
Thank you,
Carlos Alvarado
