REMOTE LEARNING EXPECTATIONS
Since we are currently in-person, most of the student's educational activity will happen in-person. We will NOT be using google classroom this year. We will only be using the learning websites posted on the home page such as Seesaw. However, due to some new cps regulations and rules, some of the online websites did not get approved for this year yet. We are waiting to see if they will be approved.
