Principal's Message
Each day I am getting more and more excited about the 2020-2021 school year. We cannot wait to continue learning and growing with our students. In preparation for the school year, we need all families to complete this survey for each student, whether you have applied to the Virtual Academy, whether you have a device or whether you need a device. (Pre-K students’ technology will be addressed separately by the Office of Early Learning.) This short survey will help us better understand the needs of our students and make sure that we are able to meet those needs.
The district is reopening the window for Virtual Academy on Monday, July 27. Families will have until Wednesday, July 29 at 5:00 to make a decision regarding Virtual Academy. During this Virtual Academy window, you can also make changes to your initial application. Please see the infographic below regarding the difference between Plan B Transition and Virtual Academy.
