A Return to In-person Learning
On 2/9/21, Principal Hargrave and Vice-Principal Kelley hosted an Q&A session for families. Review the responses to questions here.
EMS began small-group instruction on 2/18. Students and families are being notified privately via email and phone from EMS when to attend small-group in-person instruction. At this time, EMS is using an equity lense to prioritize and identify students who have been disconnected with virtual school; not all students will be attending at once. Over time more students will be phased into in-person instruction. We are opening slowly and safely. Thank you for your patience and perseverance as you wait to be contacted for in-person instruction. If you are not contacted by Mr. Hargrave, continue to engage in school virtually and contact us if you have any concerns or questions.
- Families will be contacted by the school when their student will begin
- Every two weeks additional students will be phased into in-person learning (and in alignment with the county's case rates)
- Students are a part of either "Track A" or "Track B." You can view this track in PowerSchool
- Students in Track A attend school in person on Monday and Tuesday
- Students in Track B attend school in person on Wednesday and Thursday
- When your student isn't attending in-person, it is expected she/he attend virtually
- Groups will grow larger every two weeks when the school demonstrates its ability to limit the transmission of the virus
- When beginning a return to in-person learning, your student will attend school from 10:10 to 3:00. This is the "core block" your student participates in daily.
If you'd like to request to change "Tracks" (so your student attends school on either Mon/Tue or Wed/Thur), you must complete a request form which will be sent to you upon notice that your student is attending in-person instruction.

Excused Absences
Regardless of their excused absence, your student will continue to be required to submit any work that was missed at the soonest possible opportunity.
We are flexible and here to support you, but we also need to ensure that your student is providing us with evidence of their progress to meet our essential learning standards.
Unexcused Absences
1.Participate meaningfully in class activities (Fully complete school work, speak up in Zoom sessions, ask questions of their teachers on Zoom and/or in Canvas and finish and submit responses to assignments and/or surveys)
2.Communicate with their teacher or another staff member for each period they attend by responding to their teacher's prompts, sending a private message via Canvas or email about the task or assignment if they are not participating live. This communication is not simply saying, "I'm here." It must show a greater level of engagement to count toward being present that day.
If your student has difficulty accessing videos, Zoom meetings or assignments, please have them email their teacher as soon as possible to receive suggestions for how to resolve the issue, so they can be marked present for that class.
See Teacher contact information below.
