In-Person Learning
Overview:
- In-person instruction lead by classroom teacher within class parliaments
- Attendance for in-person students will be 5 days a week (M,T, Th, F 8:10-3:10 and W 8:10-2:10) and will be recorded in the office. Times may vary depending on drop off and pick up schedules.
- If a student who is signed up for in-person learning needs to be absent from school for an extended period of time, education support will be provided remotely until the student is ready to come back to school in person.
