We can't wait to see our Cohort A (blue) students on Tuesday! As mentioned in Dr. Pedersen's smore (https://www.smore.com/qngmh), there will be no busing for Tuesday morning and students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian for drop off between the gym and main entrance. Please bring your child's class assignment card with their teachers name, their bus pass if they will be taking the bus home and complete the two assurance documents in the smore prior to arrival on Tuesday. Students will have transportation home.

Lawrence en Adelante #7 Formulario para Clases Completamente Remoto Estimadas Familias de Lawrence, Este enlace se puede usar para completar el formulario optando por la instrucción COMPLETAMENTE REMOTO, lo que significa es durante el primer periodo de calificaciones su hijo(a) NO ingresara a los edificios, pero asistirá y participara en las clases transmitidas virtualmente. Si elige la instrucción HÍBRIDA no necesita completar un formulario. En caso que no esté seguro, espere las sesiones informativas que se programaran esta semana. Gracias. Remoto https://forms.gle/hKVmdysmDHddNDQw5 Optar Por No Viajar en Autobús Como planeamos para septiembre, sepa que uno de los desafíos será el distanciamiento social en los autobuses escolares.
