    The 2020-21 school year will begin with Full Remote Learning for all learners for the duration of 1st Quarter (October 23). 

    Our goals for reopening in the fall are to (1) Ensure safe and secure learning and working conditions for staff and students in accordance with ISBE & IDPH Guidance; (2) Develop and implement a plan that is responsive to changing conditions and flexibly meets the learning and support needs of every learner; (3) Provide high quality instruction and support in an innovative and responsive fashion; (4) Ensure a lived commitment to our core belief of equity in meeting the diverse needs of our students and families; and (5) Ensure resources are (re)allocated to priority areas to support students, staff, and families.

    *This is a proposed plan subject to change based on official guidance, Board of Education direction, change in conditions related to health and safety or logistical considerations.

  • We intend to take a phased approach in which we will reassess the status of health conditions, official guidance, and District readiness to determine when we can begin a cautious and measured approach to bringing students on-site.  We will reassess at the 6 week mark for a possible return at 9 weeks and then continue to reassess at 6 week increments as necessary.
