Dear Day Parents and Guardians,
It was wonderful seeing so many of you at our Back to School Nights this week. I look forward to seeing our 8th grade parents this evening. We are so grateful for your partnership.
As we work toward the middle school transition to the hybrid model on November 16th, the district has surveyed parents to offer you an opportunity to alter your initial determination of hybrid or distance only (DLA) for your child. As you are aware, the deadline for these decisions is Tuesday, October 27th.
To assist you in the decision, I have linked a recording of an information session about Middle School Hybrid and Distance Only Learning Models. I am linking both the video and the slide deck to offer different ways for you to access the presentation.

Day Middle School Hybrid and Distance Only Learning Slide Deck Presentation
It is my hope that this presentation will provide you with the information you need to make a decision for your child. If it does not, in the slide deck, there is a link on the last slide for a Parent Hybrid Question Parking Lot. It is also linked below here.
Parking Lot for Parent Questions About Hybrid and DLA Models
Feel free to record your questions in this parking lot. I will respond to questions in this document, and I will also be holding a follow-up live Q&A Session on Monday, October 26th at 7:00 p.m. as well. The Zoom link to the live Q&A Session s linked below:
Please know that we are here to support you and your children as we transition to this new model on November 16th.
Wishing you and your families the very best,
