Virtual Community Circles

This past week Lawrence held seven virtual community circle meetings for our families to explain reopening plans. We are grateful to the families for asking great questions and making an informed choice for September instruction. Over 35% of our families have selected Full Remote instruction.


The recordings of virtual circle meetings are posted on Lawrence.org . Being able to connect remotely may be one bright spot from this health crisis. Lawrence expects to offer more virtual parent circles as school gets under way.

Full Remote, Hybrid (In Person/Remote)

The Lawrence District has created plans that allow us to adapt and adjust to changes in the infection rate and react to any cases of infection in our school buildings. Our remote teaching model and all of our models will continue to provide our learners with exceptional educational opportunities to advance their skills and allow them to reach their potential.


Full Remote learners will be invited to a Virtual Orientation and a special communication email will be set up remote families from each school. Approximately 35 percent of Lawrence families have selected Full Remote instruction.
