This Week at McMillin – March 8th – 12th

As you know, our school board authorized the transition to hybrid instruction at the board meeting last week. We do not have an exact date for the start of hybrid instruction yet, but they did announce it would be no sooner than April 5th. Once we have a specific return date, we will share it via all our communication platforms. We have been busy preparing for the transition to hybrid instruction for many months. We are in the process of finalizing our Hybrid In-Person Rosters and our Distance Learning Rosters. Our hybrid schedule will be 8:15 to 11:00 am Monday through Thursday or 12:15-3:00 pm Monday through Thursday with all Distance Learning on Friday. If your child is staying in the Distance Learning format, their schedule will remain fairly consistent. We are using the preferences you submitted for either In-Person or Distance Learning on the survey you completed at the end of January and/or the 2nd survey at end of February. If you have changed your mind since then, email or “Classdojo” me about that change, please communicate as soon as possible. We can make adjustments to rosters as space allows. Our goal is to finalize rosters in the next few days. My email address is cynthia.orr@cvesd.org please feel free to email me if you have any questions or if you have changed your preference. If you would like additional information about Reopening, please read the district handbook for parents:
