Class Options
Classes are offered for each school, but students are welcome to attend any option that best fits their schedules.***
***These are "brick and mortar" schedules that we'd normally do if school were in session as normal.
It looks like we'll be starting entirely virtually this year, and perhaps later in the year there could be combinations of in-person and virtual classes. Your child's teacher will communicate the various adaptations that may need to be made throughout the year, based on COVID-19 guidelines for keeping our children (and teachers) healthy.***
