If you or someone you know cannot access the survey, please call the District Office or any school building for a paper copy. This survey closes on Tuesday, August 4th at 5 p.m. Thank you and #GoPurple.

I was notified that you could only see the first two pages of tonight's Return to Learn recommendations. I've attached the PowerPoint version and you will hopefully be able to see all pages. https://5il.co/ibup
Here is the Return to Learn recommendations that were presented to the Board tonight. The District wanted to make sure that our options were acceptable in order to continue with planning for the fall semester. We will continue to provide updates as the District Leadership Team works through this process. This is a fluid process where we have to be willing to make changes even during implementation to ensure our students receive the instruction they need. We will send updates and information via our website, app, and social media pages as we continue to work through this process. Thank you all for your support during this time. https://5il.co/ibrd
We thank you for being patient tonight with our technical difficulties. Our tech dept. has done trial runs to ensure smoothness during our meetings, unfortunately it did not go as planned tonight. We hope to address all issues before our next meeting and appreciate your understanding.
