Benton Weekly Update
Week 32: April 19-23, 2021
Schools Reopening 4/26 for Hybrid Instruction!
Parents/guardians will have the option to choose if their student remains in distance learning or returns to school for in-person instruction in a hybrid model.
All parents must complete the survey and indicate whether your child will continue with Distance Learning, or if you prefer the hybrid/in-person learning and your preference as to Cohort A (Monday/Tuesday) or Cohort B (Thursday/Friday).
Please select your option by completing our online form by Monday, April 19, 2021. The option you select for your student(s) is for the remainder of the school year.
The form is available on our website and can be accessed by https://www.nlmusd.online/copy-of-spcf-home.
Many of your questions are answered in this video linked below, prepared by Principal Webster.
To prepare for the transition to hybrid instruction, we will have Minimum Days Thursday & Friday this week: classes are 20 minutes long. School begins at 9am, all classes are over at 10:35am.
