NOTE FROM MR. MARTINEZ
Hello McKinley Families,
This is a clarification about an email that went out yesterday from the District Office.
McKinley will continue with virtual instruction until November 16. The email mentioned that “In-Person” students will start at McKinley on Monday. That information is not accurate.
All CRCSD families were given the option to change their learning option (Remote, In-Person, or CRVA). The deadline was Oct 12. These changes will take place on Oct 19. McKinley had 38 families request a change (4 families changed to Remote and 34 families changed to In-Person).
What the email was trying to say is that these 38 requests will be processed and ready to start on Monday, Oct 19.
So just to be clear, if you are not one of those 38 requests, absolutely nothing changes for you. The remote learners will continue to be virtual. The “In-Person” families will continue to be virtual until November 16, when they will start on-site learning at McKinley..
Thank you for your continued support of McKinley STEAM Academy.
