Ben Eielson Jr-Sr HS Weekly Update
November 1st, 2020
Greetings Eielson Families,
We closed out October with our Remote/Virtual Parent Teacher Conferences and we are now 2 weeks into the next grading term. Our condensed academic schedule in a typical school year would be considered the beginning of the 3rd quarter for JH students and the start of the 2nd semester for HS students. Students enrolled in the Remote/In Person Learning Model are taking 3 classes at a time and the material covered in 9 weeks is equivalent to 2 Qtrs for JH or a Semester for HS classes.
Tuesday November 3rd, the Eielson Voting Precinct for the 2020 Presidential Election has moved to the BX to accommodate increased parking and social distancing. The Polls are open from 7am to 8pm.
The school building will reopen Wednesday the 4th after a 2 week closure due the number of staff not available as a result of positive or close contact Covid quarantines. Thursday the 5th the Phase In Students who accessed the school for Remote instruction will also return- this week bus routes to provide transportation for the Phase in students will be in place.
