Dear Parents/Guardians,
VCUSD #203 will be giving remote only students the option to return to attending in the hybrid schedule for the second quarter. Families will have a window of time between 10/5 and 10/9 to notify us of their intention to return to in-person learning for the second quarter. Please contact your child’s school or notify their remote teacher, Mrs. Meyers, if you intend to return to in-person learning by 3:00pm Friday, October 9. If you know that you will be sending your child to attend school prior to the week of 10/5-10/9, please let us know as it will give us ample time to create schedules for returning students. If your child will need transportation upon returning to in-person learning, please complete the following form by Friday, October 9:

To address the number of students struggling to complete school work on remote days, both in-person students and all -in remote students, we have come up with a plan to encourage better success. Any student that has a failing grade after the first quarter, 10/16, in a core subject (math, literature, language arts, science, or social studies) will be required to attend school on Fridays from 8am-11am beginning on October 30. Students will receive academic support during this time to promote academic success. Students will be transported to and from school if needed. Academic grade checks will be done every three weeks to determine if students will be added or removed from attending school on Fridays. Students that maintain an accumulative passing grade will not attend school on Friday. School on Friday is required for those students not maintaining a passing average grade. We will communicate to those parents/students that will be required to attend prior to 10/30. Students that attend on Fridays can bring a water bottle and a snack if they choose. If your child will need transportation to attend school on Friday of each week, please complete the following form by Friday, October 23: https://forms.gle/e9tAMEQ6dE7v5kGQ9
Please continue to encourage your student to complete assignments on remote learning days. It is our observation that those who are struggling are not engaging or not completing school work on days they are not in school. If you have any questions, please contact me via email at bkern@vandals203.org or by phone at 618-283-5151.
Respectfully,
Brian Kern, Principal
