Notes from our Director
Hello DATA community,
Phase 3 begins tomorrow. If you are returning to campus for in-person instruction, please be sure you wear your mask. We will be rotating to all class periods, (1 - 4 on MWF and 5 - 7 on TTh). Remember to keep your distance and walk on the right side of the hallways. On Friday, October 9 and again on Monday, October 12, we are on an adjusted, early release bell schedule. The schedule is linked below.
On Saturday, October 10 from 9am – 12 noon, the DATA staff is providing a fun event in the TR parking lot for all DATA students. We have ordered a DATA shirt for ALL DATA students and will be handing those out in a drive-through fashion. In addition, we have large canvases that we will have available for students to paint on by grade level. We ask that students come during their assigned 30-minute time slot to keep social distancing. Please be sure you wear your mask.
Assigned Times by Last Name Alpha groups:
9:00am – 9:30am: A – D
