The week of October 5| 2020 students who elected to do so returned for in-person learning in a 25% hybrid model [students were assigned to cohort groups – each cohort was in-person one day this week with the exception of students identified for everyday learning| – Wednesday remained a remote learning day] October 12| 2020 through November 2| 2020 students who elected to do so continued in-person learning in a 25% hybrid model [each cohort group attended one week in-person over these four weeks – Wednesday remained a remote learning day] November 9| 2020 through December 14| 2020 students who elected to do so continued in-person learning in a 25% hybrid model [each cohort group was in-person two days every other week over these four weeks – Wednesday remained a remote learning day] Beginning January 7| 2021 students who elected to do so continued in-person learning in a 50% hybrid model [four cohort groups were collapsed to two cohort groups – each cohort group was in-person two days each week – Wednesday remained a remote learning day] |
