Dear Parents and Guardians:

The Superintendent and School Board, through the Safe Start Leon Plan, are providing parents the opportunity to make a change to their current educational delivery method of Brick and Mortar (in-person schooling) or Digital Academy (online learning) for the second nine weeks.

In order to prepare and plan for the second nine weeks of the school year we are asking parents who are requesting a change to their current educational plan to please contact their school between the dates of Tuesday, September 29 and Friday, October 9.  If you are staying with your child’s current educational plan, no action is needed.  The new educational plan and second nine weeks will begin on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

Whether a parent decides to change plans, or continue with their current plan, this choice will continue through the end of the first semester. Please be aware changing an educational plan may impact your student’s schedule, teacher and lunch period.

  To highlight the process:
•       Inform the school of a switch from September 29 through October 9
•       Class size, schedule, teacher and lunch period may be impacted by making a change
•       Your new choice of educational plan will begin for students on Tuesday, November 3
•       This choice will remain in effect through the end of the first semester (ends on January 15)

Thank you for your flexibility during these unprecedented times. Students and families throughout our state and country are all experiencing some of the same issues, concerns and anxieties.  In meeting our mission of providing an educational plan during a pandemic, it is a priority for us to give families options to choose from that best fit their needs. The current status of school is not ideal but it provides the closest thing to normalcy we have.  We will get through this period together.
