Virtual Learning Update: Biweekly Starting in January
K-5th Launch Specials Courses
Due to an overwhelming response from K-5th parents across the state, Launch's K-5th specials classes will be reduced to three classes, Art, Music, and PE. Information Literacy and Coding have been dropped from the Launch course offerings. Launch shared that the amount of time spent in specials classes did not coincide with a full elementary schedule. Thank you for understanding.
