OPES PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION
Dear Best Parents Ever,
OPES wants to proactively communicate our procedures in the event we have to move students to distance learning due to a positive covid result. In the event of a teacher or class being placed in quarantine, OPES will communicate with the specific parents of the students being affected. You will receive an emailed letter and phone call detailing pertinent information. If a student/class has to move to virtual instruction, either the student's teacher or administration will communicate with specific next steps regarding instruction. Any questions or concerns will be addressed by the OPES administration or Linh Truong, OPES school nurse. We will continue to practice all of our safety precautions to support the safety and well being of all students and staff.
