IMPORTANT- This will be communicated in email and on our website and communicated at SMART START! This is for parents to prepare!
There is a change that will impact the start date for students in Grades K-12. This affects students who are returning to school in-person as well as those who will participate in the Remote Learning Option. Here are the details:
Monday, August 17 and Wednesday, August 19: Students with Last Name starting A-M will attend school.
Tuesday. August 18 and Thursday, August 20; Students with Last Name starting N-Z will attend school.
Elementary students last names A-M will come on August 19
Elementary students last names N-Z will come on August 20
No School for Students on Friday, August 21. Our staff will use this day to assess the first four days of school and make any necessary changes prior to the whole group of students starting school on Monday, August 24.
The start date for Preschool and Kindergarten students will take place on the original dates. More details will be communicated during Smart Start meetings. Smart Start letters for middle and high school will go out in the mail this week. Smart Start for MS/HS will August 13 and 14.
Teachers and staff will return to school this Thursday, August 6. Additional professional development and preparations for the start of school will take place with our staff during the two weeks prior to our students’ return.
Based on feedback from our recent parent/guardian surveys, nearly 85% of families want their child(ren) to return to school in-person this fall. Approximately 15% of our parents/guardians have indicated they want their child(ren) to participate in the Remote Learning Option. However, we know there are families who are still contemplating which course of learning they want for their child(ren). For any parent/guardian who is still considering the Remote Learning Option, they must make a decision by August 12. Parents who select the Remote Learning Option, must call the school and set up an intake meeting ASAP.
