As we try to finalize all of our plans for in-person and virtual learning, it seems as if we have to make adjustments before we can publish our plan. In the meantime, school is starting in less than two weeks and our plan has not been posted. I know that it is frustrating and concerning for many of you. I have tried to keep up with the emails, but I have not been successful in that area. I hope by sending you the Virtual Learning Plan and some tentative dates, you will be able to plan things for your families a little better.
Please know that I will text everyone in the morning as well to ask them to check their email. If you talk to your friends or see a post on Facebook that someone didn't receive this email, please ask them to check their Spam or Junk folders. The emails might have gone there. Also, ask them to email me directly if they still do not have these emails. I will then check to make sure their email address is entered correctly in Option C. Thank you in advance for helping in this area.
