OTHER TOPICS/OTROS TEMAS

​

Attendance: All students will be marked present during this time that schools are closed. We understand that many parents are working from home. If your student cannot attend a live session, it will not count against them. These live sessions are to try and provide social-emotional support to our students, and to support them in this new distance learning journey.
