Question Title

* If you have a student who will be in Pre-Kindergarten – 5th grade, which schedule would you prefer?
SELECT ONLY ONE.

TRADITIONAL START: All students will return to school full time just like normal. * 5 full days per week with all students in attendance.

HYBRID START: This is a blended approach with half of the students on campus at a time. Students will attend campus in person 2 to 3 days per week. The other 2 to 3 days per week would be considered as distance learning. These “at home” days would include online video conferencing with teachers as well as completing assignments and activities online.

DISTANCE LEARNING START: Campuses would remain closed. All students will receive instruction in a virtual manner which includes online video conferencing with teachers as well as completing assignments and activities online.
