For each school you will continue to have the option of Hybrid (in-person and remote instructional days), 100% Remote, or Home School. You do not need to fill this survey out unless you are requesting a change to either the current instructional format or your transportation needs (for example, if your student is 100% remote and you would like them to participate in the in-person hybrid option; you currently drive your student to school and you would like them to ride the bus). If you have multiple students in the household that you would like to change, please fill in a form for each child. If you do not complete the form, we will continue with the current selections that were made in the beginning of the year. Please complete the survey by Wednesday, January 13.

NYS Practice Testing
Each Spring we are required by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) to test our students in grades 3-8 in both ELA and Math. These state tests have moved to a computer based format. In 2018 and 2019, the NYS testing system crashed repeatedly during state testing. NYSED is holding a practice assessment of the computer based system to ensure that our systems are capable of handling the testing standards as required by the state. We are participating in this trial test because it allows our students to gain experience with the format while also allowing us to evaluate our system. We will be holding 40-minute testing sessions with our students attending in-person classes on the following dates:
- Tuesday, January 12: students in grades 6-8
- Wednesday, January 13: students in grades 3-8
Students will not be graded on these tests; they do not need to have any knowledge of the questions asked. The tests are only to give them practice and ensure our systems are ready.
