Circle of Care: Students
1. a. Following our district wide survey and reaching out to families this week by phone and email, 75.2% of our students and families have indicated option 1 (Full Time In-Class Learning) and 15.5% of families have chosen Option 2 (Transition Phase). As of the end of last week, we have been unable to connect with approximately 9% of our students so this % will increase as more students/ families indicate their preferences. (1b)
