Happy Friday Families,
It was great to see so many of you at Wednesday’s PTO meeting. We are so fortunate to have so many engaged and supportive families. I will continue to share information as it becomes available, but here is the latest on Shepherd re-opening:
- Students who have been selected for in-person learning will be notified later today. On Monday, Ms. Mack, Ms. Brooks, Ms. Rottman and I will make phone calls to those families to see whether they want to accept their seat. Please feel free to email me if you want to accept your seat at phyllis.hedlund@k12.dc.gov, but we will follow up with a call on Monday morning. Please note that we will not be able to confirm your student’s teacher assignment at this time because of ongoing labor negotiations.
- On 10/30, families will learn whether their student has been selected for a CARES classroom.
- The custodians have been setting up classrooms and common areas for social distancing. We are receiving a large shipment of supplies today.
- The LSAT walk through of the school building will occur on or after 10/30.
- November 9th in-person learning begins
- November 16th CARE begins for PK3-1st grade
- November 30 CARE begins for grades 2-5
Please let me know if you have any questions. I regret the anxiety we are all experiencing, and I know that things will get better soon. Enjoy the weekend and stay safe!
Phyllis
