We thank all parents and guardians who took time to the complete the Teaching and Learning Waiver earlier this month. Your participation has helped us prepare for our return to school in September.
Approximately 40% of respondents selected a fully remote learning model through the first five weeks of school. If you did not complete the waiver or have questions about either learning model – in-person or remote – please contact your building principal.
