The following update to the Parent Student Handbook was issued by the Superintendent of Schools Office on Thursday October 8, 2020.

During the time that schools are governed under the Moving Forward Together document and schools are participating in remote learning, students who are absent due to illness may participate in the entire school day via remote learning.

      If a student remains home due to illness and is able to participate via remote learning for the entire school day, parents must write to the school informing the principal that the student is ill but will be participating remotely.  The note from the parent must be sent prior to the start of the school day. 

      The student will be marked present (remote) if the student participates remotely for the entire school day.

      If the student is unable to participate for the entire school day, the student will be marked absent.

       This remote option is not available for students who are not attending school due to an unexcused absence.
