Good Day Munn Families,
I would like to begin by thanking you for taking the time to complete the district’s enrollment intent form(s) for your child(ren). This form is our most important tool in supporting our planning for student learning, both in school and remotely. Therefore, the deadline has been extended to Monday, August 10. Please remember that you will need to complete the form for each school-age child in your household.
Thank you to the many parents who have reached out to me by phone or email. I have appreciated everyone’s candor and willingness to allow me to answer questions to the best of my ability as the details to our instructional and operational plans continue to be refined each day. Many questions have been answered on our FAQ page (which is continuously being updated).
For those selecting hybrid, our goal is to have your color/day group assignments communicated next week. The district will use an algorithm in our student management system (Infinite Campus) that will take into account households with children across multiple schools, allowing families to attend school on the same days while also helping us balance class sizes and transportation across the district. As we get back to learning, our top priority in re-opening remains the safety and well-being of your children and staff.
Regardless of which model you selected, I have linked the district’s updated school calendar for the 2020-2021 year, which was approved at this week’s meeting of the Board of Education. What you need to know immediately is that the first day of school has been changed to Monday, September 14, and there are no half-days for the 2020-2021 academic year. By front-loading the year’s four conference days, this will allow us the opportunity to train staff on proper safety protocols, our new instructional learning plans, and provide them with the time they need to prepare for the variety of plans we are offering.
Please continue to reach out to me with questions or concerns by phone 349-5501 or email MCanny@Spencerportschools.org.
Take good care,
Mike
