Schedule for the week
CrisisGo Symptom Screener
As we plan for our return to in-person learning for those families who have selected to have their students come to campus, we wanted to let you know about an important step prior to coming in each day.
CrisisGo Safety iPass is the system used to send a daily self-certification form through email to the guardians of all students that have chosen to learn at school during the pandemic. Guardians need to submit the form every morning and students will then use a mobile app on their phones to show an entry badge while entering the buildings.
Please follow this link for additional information about the system and process
Freshmen Orientation
Buses will pick up students on the 7:25 am route to get them here on time. If students are being dropped off, we ask that they are dropped off or arrive no later than 7:50 am.
Leyden Celebrates Black History Month!
This week marks the first week of Black History Month. All month long, here at Leyden, we’re going to be highlighting Black historical figures who have shaped America in ways that may have gone unnoticed. We will be using Twitter to shout out these figures via our Twitter handle @leydenpride212.
Today, we’d like to highlight Claudette Colvin. Nine months before Rosa Parks led the now-famous bus-boycott, 15-year-old Colvin refused to give up her seat to a white person. She was arrested for this act and did not gain the notoriety or praise Rosa Parks did because of her age, look, and status in society. Learn more about her by following this link.
Special thank you to Gina Caneva here at East and Janine Asmus at West for helping develop our communications and messages throughout the month!

Student Services and Hybrid

Throughout hybrid learning, social workers and counselors will continue to meet remotely with students via virtual appointments.
