Return-to-Learn Plan

Under the Board-approved Hybrid Option 2 plan, families will CHOOSE between online or on-site learning.

What does Hybrid Option 2 entail?

Families must choose for their student between on-site or online learning through Friday, Jan. 15 (first semester).
Families were sent a survey to complete for EACH student. We ask each family to make a decision by July 31. (See below for more details.)
Both plans have students attending class Monday through Friday, either on-site or at home.
Families CAN choose to switch to online if they start at on-site and change their mind until Friday, Sept. 4. Changes due to extenuating circumstances after Sept. 4 must be approved by the school, knowing changes may impact staffing and scheduling.
Families CANNOT switch from online to on-site during the semester because of our need to appropriately plan for staff and facilities.
