COVID-19 Information for Parents
Returning to School Safely Webinar

By planning carefully and taking health precautions both individually and collectively, our community can work together to support safe student learning and growth using a hybrid model of instruction (a combination of in-person and distance learning).

Checklists to Guide Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers – For many families, school will look different this year than it has in previous years. Your school may offer virtual learning or have new policies and practices in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during in-person learning. Whatever the situation, these checklists are intended to help parents, guardians, and caregivers, plan and prepare for the upcoming school year.
