Post-Spring Break – 2 Week District-Wide Virtual/Remote Instruction (April 5 – 16):
- The two-weeks after Spring Break will serve as a quarantine period for staff and families after potential travel. Therefore allowing for the return of families who are selecting an in-person hybrid experience for their children
- This means that following spring break, all students, across all grade levels, in all schools will have virtual/remote instruction from April 5 – 16;
- Scheduling: In order to be as consistent as possible and to lessen the number of transitions for our students all schedules will continue as is during the two-week virtual period post-Spring Break.
