WELCOME BACK
Unique Opportunity
Admittedly, the virus and changes it has brought to our lives have been hard and have caused a fair amount of stress. But as in all hard circumstances, there is good to be found – the silver lining. We now have the wonderfully unprecedented opportunity for a time to teach students in very small classes. Teachers will be able to teach smaller groups of students and will be able to pinpoint the needs of each one. This is something that teachers have dreamed about and we are so excited about the progress students will be able to make. Please read the attachment DSD Hybrid Guidance – Elementary to discover how in-class, at home, and Fridays will operate.
