Students in Grades 5-7 will have half days from September 8th-11th. Dismissal times will be staggered by class between 12:00-12:30 pm. This will allow students to build up their stamina for the full day, and to get used to the new routines and protocols that we have in place. While we are all excited to be together, wearing a mask and physically distancing from our classmates and teachers is going to feel different and strange at first! It is our goal to make the transition as seamless as possible, and to support the variety of emotions that will come along with the transition back to school. To that end, all students will have half days for the first week of school. Grades Pre K-4 will also ease into a full day during the second week of school.
