NEW FORMAT, DATES & TIMES - CHECK SCHEDULE BELOW!
As part of our re-orientation process for ALL faculty, staff, students, and families we will be having additional training as part of the Back to School Nights. As we return to school in the fall we want to ensure everyone is aware of and ready to follow all of these new practices when the school year starts. We want to do our best to reduce as much uncertainty as possible. We will be going over important COVID preparedness and safety tips.
Due to the state gathering limitations for holding groups of more than 25 people, we are moving all of our Back to School Orientation nights to a remote/online format. Times may have changed, so please check the schedule below to confirm the date, time and link for your campus and group/age.
We will still have opportunities for families to drop-in at campuses, sign forms, drop off supplies, and meet teachers briefly in advance of the school year starting. In accordance with current state policy, we ask that persons wear a face covering during these drop-ins as we will be doing trial runs of our temperature check protocols on these evenings.
