North Glendale Family Update
August 2, 2020
Good afternoon!
Last Wednesday, about 300 of us gathered online to talk through questions regarding our decision to move to the All Students Online Only model, which we will use for the first 9 weeks of school.
My thanks for the questions that were submitted before, during and after the webinar. I have tried to synthesize the questions into a document, with answers, and I plan to use this as our working document of Q and A. (I'm not crazy about the format but I will figure out a way to make it easier to navigate!). Please note if there is not an answer posted, I am working on it.
If you missed the webinar, we went for about 46 minutes and you can view it at this YouTube link.
More details are unfolding everyday and I will do all I can to get you timely and accurate information and resources.
In partnership,
Jennifer Sisul

Sign Ups for the Week of August 10
In order to accommodate as many kids as possible, the visits will be short and sweet and will probably include the obligatory popsicle and selfie!
So, what about classlists?
