Our top priority is the safety, health, and well-being of our students, families, and staff. Even as we began the school year with an all-virtual learning model, our preparations for welcoming staff and students back into our buildings continue with a focus on returning students to schools through two school-based experiences:
In-person, classroom learning for students furthest from opportunity; and
A supportive care model in elementary schools across the District, which will provide students with safe and structured environments as they engage in virtual learning.
