McDaniel High School - COVID-19 Family Information Sessions
There will be three different sessions each will take place from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm on Google meet.
- Spanish
- English
- Vietnamese
The Google meet links will be posted on the McDaniel website and sent out via email and text message on Monday.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT WHEN STUDENTS HAVE TO QUARANTINE
When a student has to quarantine they will be directed to check their PPS student email. Ms. Santiago (Vice Principal) will be sharing a Google Doc with the student where the student’s teachers will give instructions on what the student can do while they are at home.
The most important part is for students to be checking their student email, first to see the shared document and also for further communication. It is also important that they visit CANVAS for updates since this is where most teachers will communicate.
Grand Opening Celebration - Leodis V. McDaniel High School
It's scheduled for next Saturday, September 18th at 11 am.
There will be FREE give aways and the opportunity for a Self Guided Tour of the building. As a reminder, masks are required to enter the building.
Back to School Night - Virtually - September 22, 2021
The good news is that we will be able to virtually (on line) host our Back to School Night this year.
We will post the Google meets links on the website, email, and text the information out to families.
