We are now several weeks into the school year and the results are phenomenal! The ability for students to return to school with in-person instruction in a safe and clean environment is of enormous benefit to them academically, socially, emotionally and mentally. The hybrid learning model allows us to strictly adhere to CDC protocol including the important distancing. This success requires a partnership, and we truly appreciate the cooperative efforts of our staff, students, and parents.

 

Implementing a hybrid model requires great demands on both staff and students. There are many additional duties and protocols in place, and the pace and workload is strenuous for all.

 

We frequently speak of the need for our students and staff to extend grace to themselves and each other. Supporting the physical and mental well-being of our community is imperative to our academic success. We will provide opportunities for our staff and students to recharge and catch up as needed with planned breaks in the calendar as follows.  

• Thanksgiving will look different. The break will be extended by two additional days for the entire week of November 23 through November 27.

Learning best occurs when there is a supportive climate that prioritizes the well-being of those who are working hard to help challenges become successes. We thank you for your support as our students and staff are afforded this time so they may be at their best potential.
