One main takeaway: Per Marion County Health Dept. the shortened quarantine time DOES NOT apply to our school district.
Teachers are contacting the students that need to be scheduled to come to school to catch up on work this week. Parents, please check emails, Dojo, and Remind for messages from teachers. Teachers will not be assigning new work this week. However, all students will need to check in for attendance through TeacherEase, Tuesday (1/5/2021)- Friday (1/8/2021). Our hybrid schedule will resume on Monday, January 11, 2021 with a 2:05 dismissal. Students MUST be checked in for attendance on the days that they are remote.
Reminder: Struggling students will be invited back on Tuesday, Jan 5. Teachers will be contacting students tomorrow if they need to come in. A/B days start on Jan 11. Will will continue to dismiss at 2:05.
Parents should call school if their student has been exposed to COVID during the break.
