Good Afternoon,
I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
In an abundance of caution, the decision has been made to cancel In-Person instruction for students this week and move to Distance Learning. In addition to the staff member who was referenced in an email last week, we have another staff member who tested positive for COVID-19. We have identified and contacted necessary individuals who are considered close contacts and are required to quarantine. We feel this is the best course of action to follow considering the health and safety of our students and staff.
Please review this important information below-
We will follow an asynchronous schedule for students to complete coursework this week. Students will be required to log in to Google Classroom, check and respond to necessary emails, participate in any online meetings and complete work at their own pace. We recommend they follow a consistent academic schedule for the week.
Students will have an opportunity each day for academic support facilitated by Columbia Central teachers.
Teachers will host live academic support meeting sessions each day organized by subject areas. Please refer to the schedule listed below. During this time, students may ask questions, get timely feedback, interact with teachers and other students in the class. The academic support times listed below are not required but strongly recommended if your student needs help in any way.
9:30-10:30 AM-Elective and Foreign Language classes-(Band, Choir, Art, PE, Foreign Language)
