Before Winter Break, we contacted families to confirm that we would return from break in the hybrid learning strategy, then evaluate our COVID-19 illness and absence data to determine if we should continue in the hybrid strategy or modify that plan. Based on the current low number of absences among students and staff, the OASD Administration has decided that students at all grade-levels will return to school face-to-face on Wednesday, January 20. This student return will be in full-time face-to-face instruction, five days a week, at the intermediate and high school levels and our face-to-face cohort strategy at the elementary level. Please remember that Monday, January 18, and Tuesday, January 19, are staff professional development days and non-school days for students.
As with all of the other learning strategy shifts this school year, this information pertains to OASD families enrolled in in-person learning. If your child is enrolled in the OVLC, they will remain in the fully-virtual OVLC program.
As we have done all school year, we will continue to monitor our COVID illness and absence data and make adjustments to our learning strategies as needed based on that information. Students and staff members who are currently in quarantine should continue to follow their predetermined quarantine schedule. With the switch to full-time face-to-face learning, students and staff should return to school on their first learning day after a quarantine period.
