Read the full letter from the Superintendent: August 11, 2020: Remote Learning Request (form attached)
Dear Parents/Guardians of K - 6 Students:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the procedure for requesting full remote (off-site) instruction for your child. Our current reopening plan has students in grades K - 6 participating in a hybrid instructional model. The District understands the need to provide a full remote instruction option if your child is in the high risk category, your child resides with an individual(s) in the high risk category, and/or you are not comfortable having your child attend in-person instruction.
As the obligation to provide remote instruction as an alternative to in person-instruction may change as the year progresses, any request for remote instruction must specify the basis for the request, and if the request is due to your child being in a high risk category or residing with someone in a high risk category, the request should be accompanied by supporting medical documentation.
All requests for a full remote instruction option must be made no later than August 21, 2020. Requests for full remote instruction can be made by submitting the attached form to your child’s main office or by completing the
online request form on the District website.
Should your request for full remote instruction be granted, we will ask that your child remain on full remote instruction for the first semester, which concludes on January 22, 2021. We understand that circumstances may change which could result in you requesting an adjustment to this date. If circumstances do change while your child is on full remote instruction, please contact your child’s building principal to discuss an earlier return date.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact your child’s building principal.

Lisa A. Wiles
