The Quill 4-16-21
In-Person Hybrid Edition
A Thought or Two From Mr. Nieslanik
We have arrived at the time where students will be returning to campus. The journey to this point in time has been exhausting, confusing, complex, and full of starts and stops. Some in our community stand here ready to walk through the doors of Southridge High School and into the hallways, public spaces, and classrooms, while others are at home saying, "I need a little more time in CDL". No matter how you are approaching Quarter 4, do know that we support you. If you are joining us in the building, or if you joining us from your home, welcome to Quarter Four of the 2020-21 school year!
This edition of The Quill is dedicated to In-Person Hybrid (IPH) safety protocols and structures. Please take the time to read through this information if you are returning to IPH instruction. The first couple of entrees are for all students and families, and then I transition to In-Person Hybrid Instruction.
Take time, be well.
