We are excited to continue our phased return this semester with our upcoming shift to five days of in-person learning per week. To learn more about our layered health and safety procedures for the protection of students, staff and families, our FAQ page or watch our Health and Safety video.

For more information about our transition to five days of in-person learning, visit our website.

Here are upcoming dates to remember during this phased transition:

Transition to Five Days of In-Person Learning:

• Monday, Feb. 1 – No school for elementary and middle school students.
• Half building-based professional learning and half teacher planning day.

• Tuesday, Feb. 2 – Elementary and middle schools transition to in-person learning five days per week.

• Tuesday, Feb. 16 – No school for high school students.
• Half building-based professional learning and half teacher planning day.

• Wednesday, Feb. 17 – High schools transition to in-person learning five days per week.

The Remote Learning Program will continue to be available for families who feel it is best at this time. If you would like to change how your student is learning, whether it is in person or through the Remote Learning Program, please contact your student’s school.

As we continue through the second semester, schools or classrooms may need to temporarily shift to remote learning based on contact tracing in our schools or community conditions. Our focus is a responsible transition to serving students five days per week in person.

As we transition to five days of in-person learning per week, Meals2Go will continue to be available.

Starting Monday, Feb. 1: Meals2Go will be provided one day each week (Mondays).

• On Mondays, five days of meals will be available for drive-through pickup.
