Hello Olympic View Scholars and Families,
In Partnership,
Allison Hargroves
Principal
Principal Zoom Hybrid Informaion Session Thursday, February 18th at 6:15PM
I am excited to share the details about our hybrid model and how we are planning and preparing for safety and instruction. Here is the link: https://fwps.zoom.us/j/4423650019
Confirmation for Hybrid or 100% Remote Model Sent Earlier This Week
You received a confirmation letter for your selection (hybrid or fully remote) on February 10th. As a reminder, the deadline for confirming your selection OR changing your selection is Friday, February 19th. While we will make every effort to keep teachers and students together, recognizing we must adhere to safety guidelines and class size limitations and respond to parents’ choice of the model and staff accommodation requests, we must re-balance classrooms. This means your child’s teacher may change. We recognize changes are not ideal, and we’re doing what we can to maintain continuity as much as possible and school staff will be supporting the transition.
Bell Times Changing for ALL K-5 students on March 8th
All PreK-5 Scholars, regardless of remote/hybrid status will be returning to the same start and end times as last year. This change is needed to ensure equitable access to special education services and specialists and will alleviate the need to disrupt schedules each time a grade band returns to in-person/hybrid
Families in BOTH the in-person Hybrid Model and the 100% Remote learning will have new bell times, starting March 8, returning to our traditional start times:
- In person start times of the AM session will begin at 9:10AM
- In-person start times for the PM session will begin at 1:15PM
Family Resources Coming Soon!
- Our Family Guide will be available next week and provides all of the details and protocols for what our instructional day will look like in hybrid and the safety measures that will be in place.
- A video overview is coming soon that will provide an overview of our health and safety measures
- Lessons are also being prepared for teachers to support teaching scholars about how to transition to in-person learning focused on safety
I want to thank you for your partnership as we prepare to return to in-person learning!
