Principals will be communicating their building specific plans and schedules in the coming week in order to provide families time to prepare before the first day of school on August 31st. The first week of school will be individual and small group conferences/orientation to ensure students have the appropriate devices, internet access, usernames and passwords, course expectations, teacher expectations, and the opportunity to meet their teachers face to face prior to beginning remote learning.
