Hello 8th grade families,
Thank you all for your flexibility! We were able to meet with our administrative team today and come up with a detailed plan for remote learning moving forward. This plan will take effect starting Friday, 11/22/2024. At this time, we do not know how long we will be learning remotely. As more information becomes available, we will share it with you all.
Each day you will need to complete the remote learning attendance form to be recorded present for the day. The form can be found here.
You will check each of your Google Classrooms for the work that needs to be completed each day. Work will be posted by 8:15am.
Teachers will continue to deliver content and grade work during remote learning so make sure that you are doing your best.
If you need help or have any questions teachers will be available for office hours (linked below) at the following times.
