Dear Independence Local Schools’ Families,
As we move towards the end of the first semester (last day is January 21), I wanted to remind you of the process we utilized at the beginning of this school year. We presented the all-virtual I-Pride Academy for students who wanted a fully remote learning model. We also presented our in-person model, with pivots to remote when infection rates made that necessary. Each family made an enrollment decision for each student and we have and will continue to work to keep these options engaging to meet the needs of our students.
As our second semester approaches, the window to choose an educational model is opening up again. We are asking that you decide if your student(s) will be part of the all-virtual or in-person (with pivots to remote based on infection data) model. You only need to complete the survey if you are switching models. If your student is in the I-Pride Academy and you want him or her to stay, there is no need to complete the survey. If your student was in-person and you would like them to stay, there is no need to complete the survey.
If you would like to change the model for your student, please complete the survey:
You will need to complete the survey each time for each child.
I hope to have school plans for our potential January return to share later next week.
Please stay safe and have a great weekend,
Sincerely,
Ben Hegedish
Superintendent
