Week of March 1st-Transition to Hybrid Learning
As always, we thank you for your continued support this school year!
Patience, Grace, and Flexibilty!
HYBRID AND REMOTE CHANGES
Families that selected Hybrid Learning back in early December through the district survey, should have received an email confirmation. If the survey was not completed, students will remain in our remote learning program.
We have a waiting list because we have to limit class sizes due to spacing and safety mitigations.
You can also email Principal Johnson at kimberly.johhnson@hsd153.org, if you selected hybrid learning for your child and you would like your child to continue with remote learning.
