From October 5th - 9th, we have a short Phase 4. Please read below reminders:
- Students who elected face-to-face attend two days next week (letter w/ groups + days).
- Students should be in uniform.
- Morning time drop off opens at 8:30.
- Bus Information is available, and school breakfast + lunch is currently free.
- Please bring a water bottle to use at bottle filling stations.

- Watch the Phase 3 Presentation Video from Dr. Blackwell below delivered 9/17/20.
Full Face-to-Face Phase Scheduled to Start October 14th
- There may be a few schedule changes. We anticipate being able to keep students with their current teachers. Schedule changes would be done to create the best groupings of face-to-face students and/or virtual students.
- An example of a schedule change would be that if a teacher only has one or two virtual students in 1st period, we would attempt to move those virtual students to a different period with that same teacher where there is a larger group of virtual students.
- We believe that as little disruption to students and teachers already-developed relationships is key.
- Wednesday becomes a normal day of instruction for in-person and virtual students.
- It's critical that you know the "Top 5 to Know." See above phase 4 section.
- You'll receive more information on Wednesday, October 7th.
