For those who were unable to join the Return to School Webinars, it is strongly encouraged that both you and your son(s) watch the presentation and review the Return to School Plan.
Although the recorded webinar included in this email was geared toward the Class of 2024, the difference between the two were the questions submitted and answered by administration. The additional questions from the second webinar are included below.
One note of clarification: The Green and Gold groups will follow Shamrock Schedule A & B on alternating weeks which means in a two-week period each group will be in person 5 out of 10 days (3 days one week, 2 days the next) unless there are scheduled days off.
