8/26 is the first L & D Day of the year! Beginning this year, our Learning & Development (L&D) Days will have a new format. These are no longer asynchronous or virtual days when students work from home. ALL students are required to attend school in person, and attendance will be recorded.
Our first L&D Day is Wednesday, August 26. Students will participate in advisory rotations designed to provide additional academic support, intervention, and tutoring for students who need help in their classes. We are also working to develop enrichment opportunities for students who are performing well and ready for additional learning experiences.
Attendance is required for all students, regardless of their academic performance. Students who do not attend will be marked absent. Students will be dismissed early on L&D Days. Please review the attached bell schedule and transportation information for dismissal and bus details.
We appreciate your support in ensuring your student attends and takes advantage of these valuable learning opportunities!
