Earlier this week, all of our parents/guardians received communication regarding your students’ learning location for Quarter 4, which begins on Monday, March 15. A student’s Learning Location indicates whether they are attending school in person or fully remote. As we prepare for Quarter 4, we would like to offer once again the opportunity for parents/guardians to change the Learning Location for their students.

The communication you received via email on Tuesday, March 2, indicates your students’ current Learning Location is (either fully remote or in-person two days per week). New for Quarter 4, your student may have the option to attend classes on campus all four days during the week. Please note, this may be limited and is based on capacity restrictions.

Only those parents/guardians who would like to change their student’s status must complete the form. If you do not submit this form, your student’s current Learning Location will not change. If you would like to make a change to your students’ current Learning Location for Quarter 4, please complete the following form by the end of the day TODAY, Friday, March 5 (please note, if you already completed this, you do not have to fill it out again.

Leyden High School Quarter 4 Learning Location Change Request Form

We want to send a huge thank you to all of our families attending in-person learning to support our new process of wearing Leyden lanyards and ID. It's imperative given that everyone is wearing masks, but certainly, an important practice as we always focus on student and staff safety. We appreciate your support and helping in making this happen!

As a reminder - for anyone attending classes on campus, lanyards and IDs are required and should be worn around students' necks at all times. If a student is on campus and has not yet received their lanyard and ID, please have them stop by the Dean's Office, and we will make sure they receive one.
