Whitney Families-
We have had an amazing start back to school with our cohort A & B students in grades K-2. Thank you to all of YOU for making this transition back to school amazing for our students. We appreciate the patience and grace and teamwork you have shown us in getting our students back into the classroom.
We look forward to bringing back our grade 3-5 students the week of March 15th. We will be sending out attestations and a letter to all of our 3-5 students along with bus routes. Please feel free to watch our "Return To Hybrid" Video for specific details of what the return will look like. If you do not get an attestation in the mail you are always welcome to pick them up here at Whitney. When students arrive at school we will give out lanyards to all students for the attestations and car tags to students that arrive by car. LINK to Video
If you do not want to have your child return to a Hybrid model, you will need to enroll in the Edgenuity program at Discovery Lab for a full remote learning opportunity. You will need to begin that transfer by clicking the link below.

Please continue to watch our Facebook page (link below) as well as our Whitney web page at ysd7.org/Whitney, for regular updates about what is happening at Whitney.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Newell and Mr. Hunt
