Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back! I hope you found the winter break relaxing and a welcome rest! Thank you to everyone who attended this week’s Leadership Team Townhall Meeting. Below I am sharing a brief summary of the MS plan for reopening when we are able to bring students back to campus.
MS
Reopening Plan Summary
WHEN we are able to reopen, here are broad points that describe what our return to campus will look like for middle school students. Please note that there is no reopening date as of now for middle school students. It is a choice for students to return to campus. We will offer a virtual learning option for the remainder of the school year.
- Middle
school students will be divided in two groups:Mango: Students with last names A-K will come to school Monday & Tuesday
Blue: Students with last names L-Z will come to school Thursday & Friday - Grades 6, 7, and 8 will be phased in over two weeks. Students will be cohorted in advisory groups until all middle school students in all cohorts are reoriented to campus.
- The goal of these two weeks is to acclimate students to classrooms and the campus, practice new routines and attend to students’ wellbeing during this transition.
- When arriving on campus, students will report to advisory each day so that we can maintain social distancing before classes begin.
- Each day, students on campus will have additional contact time with their advisor from 8:45-9:00am for clarifications on procedures and information.
The
timing of our class schedule will remain the same as it is now. There will be
no change in class times for students on campus.
