Parents,
We appreciate everyone's response to our recent survey, requesting your preference for in-person or virtual learning. As you know, we are all operating in an environment where change comes rapidly, and we as school leaders must pivot quickly. Given the number of virtual learners for the first 9 weeks, we need to make a change to the opening of school.
We are delaying the opening of school to August 20. Our current 20-21 school calendar will be amended in the coming weeks, and we will release the new calendar as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we attempt to navigate these uncertain times. As always, our principals are available to answer any questions you may have.
Update- 7/17/2020
When we released our reopening plan two weeks ago, we declared it a “working plan.” Indeed it’s already time to make changes based on the most current information from the Department of Public Health. Moving forward, we will require masks for students in grades 3-12 and staff members. PK-2nd students will be highly encouraged to wear a mask. There will be exceptions for lunch, PE, and those with physical or certain health impairments. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we navigate these unprecedented times. We will continue to communicate with you as more information becomes available.

The Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) has partnered with the University of Alabama to conduct a statewide school technology survey. The purpose of this survey is to build a statewide repository detailing Internet connectivity and Internet-enabled digital device availability to inform decision makers as we expand remote learning capabilities and enhance high-quality instruction to students around the state.
Whether a student is attending school in a traditional classroom setting, virtually, or a blended version of traditional and virtual, it is important that we hear from parents across the state as the survey responses will impact our efforts to respond to ongoing changes relating to remote and blended learning options throughout our state. Please take a few moments to share and complete this statewide school technology survey. The deadline for completing the survey is Friday, July 31, 2020.
Our online grading system, Chalkable, is a great way to keep up with how your child is performing in school. Grades are updated online as teachers post them and you have the ability to sign up for grade updates. Need an account for our online grading system? Please email bbyrd@leedsk12.org for access.
