Updates from the Lions' Den
Welcome Back!
Alcance de la OALC (via Google Translate)
As you know, our district has opted to begin the year in a distance learning model, September 14-25. Then, we will return in a hybrid model. Despite learning outside the school building, students are still expected to follow their schedules, checking in with each teacher during the scheduled class period. Rest assured that even when your student is distance learning, OALC staff will be available to help via Google Meet, Schoology, or email.
For more information regarding the distance learning model and the other models that we will likely see throughout the year, please check out the district's website: #279ReadytoRestart.
