As I write this, please know that all district employees are excited to see you and your students in person this Fall, especially our teachers! Based upon many conversations with our families and the greater community, I know the hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic are lingering and we are still coping with its challenges. As a district, we will continue to do everything we can to support your children and our families as we move to the other side of the pandemic. As we direct our focus to the next school year, we are as prepared and focused as ever to reengage your child in person academically, socially, emotionally, and athletically/artistically. With the exception of students who excelled last year online by having fewer than 18 absences, passed all of their second semester classes, and/or have a medical waiver to learn online, all students will be expected to return in person in the Fall. We know that most students will thrive when they return to school in person. This school year, with an additional $1.2 billion in COVID-19 Relief funding, we will have fully staffed classrooms, smaller class sizes, more technology for your child, expanded after school programs, and a nurse and mental health support at each school. We are also continuing to expand our literacy support with more small groups and one-to-one support for students who are below grade level.
