All schools will communicate specific instructions for eLearning requirements and expectations to students and parents, including any changes to office hours for teachers. Additionally, paper packets for Pre-K - 2nd grade students will be sent home and Google Classroom assignments for 3rd - 12th grade students will be posted by February 16.
In order for a student to be marked present for the eLearning day, all assignments must be completed and turned in by Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
