Remote and In Person Learning
Thank you to all of our teachers, support staff members, bus drivers, custodians, food service workers, and families who are helping us to provide both remote and in person learning for our Cyclones. As you can imagine, much preparation has gone into preparing both environments for our students to accomodate our families' Semester 2 decision.
Because of the coordination involved, any requests to switch from remote to in person or vice versa must be approved by an administrator. Please Note: If a switch is approved, our staff members are given up to 24 hours to make the arrangements needed.
Student Absences:
- If a member of your household is being tested for COVID-19, if your child has symptoms of COVID-19, if your child has been exposed to COVID-19, or if your child has been diagnosed with COVID-19, please keep him or her home, and contact our main office.
- Remote learning is not expected if you child is ill. Students should rest and recover, and we will help support them with any missed instruction once they are feeling better.
- If your child is absent, and remote learning is not requested or approved, we will treat is as a “normal” absence. The student or parent may reach out to the teacher for work missed, and time will be allowed for the student to make it up. Students are given the number of days absent to make up any work missed. If additional time is needed, please contact your child's teacher.
Thank you to all for your patience and flexibility as we partner together as a school-home team to provide a safe and student-centered learning experience for all of our Cyclones.
