Remote Only Learning and Home Schooling
The District respects the tough decisions families will have to make this fall. District provided remote learning only is an option to our families, especially for students who are at high risk or live with someone who is at high risk. If you would like this remote learning option please call your child's building and answer a few, simple questions. We have extended the deadline to get this information from 08/21 to 08/26.. Our goal is to have all this information by tomorrow, 08/26, so we can get things ready like devices, class lists, etc. Parent directed and supported Home Schooling has also been an option for families in New York State. Please contact the District Office if you are planning to home school your child/children. While being in front of their teacher is the best, we recognize that for many reasons, the in-person model may not work for all.
