Estimada comunidad de PPSD,

Queria comunicarme y brindarles actualizaciones sobre nuestro regreso a las escuelas después de las vacaciones.

A partir del 4 de Enero, los estudiantes volverán a la educación a distancia. Los estudiantes que no están inscritos en la Academia de aprendizaje virtual seguirán un regreso gradual al aprendizaje en persona hasta el 14 de enero.

El día que su estudiante regrese al aprendizaje en persona, podrá participar en la prueba COVID-19 asintomática gratuita, siempre que los padres hayan dado su consentimiento (las hojas de permiso se enviarán por separado por mensaje de texto). Estas pruebas, continuarán aproximadamente dos veces al mes. Esta prueba es valiosa en dos frentes: (1) ayudará a monitorear la presencia de COVID-19 en las escuelas y (2) reducirá la propagación en los entornos escolares. Tenga en cuenta que las familias que brinden su consentimiento inicial pueden optar por no participar en cualquier momento.

ESCUELA PRIMARIA

• Lunes 11 de enero: los estudiantes de pre-kindergarten, kindergarten y primer grado regresan al aprendizaje en persona.• Martes 12 de enero: los estudiantes de segundo y tercer grado regresan al aprendizaje en persona.• Miércoles 13 de enero: los estudiantes de cuarto y quinto grado regresan al aprendizaje en persona.

ESCUELA INTERMEDIA

• Lunes 11 de enero: Los estudiantes de sexto grado que siguen el horario A regresan al aprendizaje en persona. Aquellos en elhorario B asisten a través de aprendizaje a distancia durante el día.
