In-Person and Virtual Instructional Model Choices
Many of you have expressed interest in what our numbers look like as a campus for the 2nd six weeks. Above is a brief chart that outlines by grade level what student commitments have been made. Please know that we had a 95% response rate - which is outstanding - and we will continue to try and reach the remaining families. The numbers below reflect the default "in-person" selection for any student that has not entered a choice.
Building protocols and procedures for students returning to campus will be shared next week with families at Open House and in our eNews.
Please reference the HISD Reopening Plan and the Back to School publication released by HISD for answers to some of the questions you may have about students returning to campus. |
