• Social distancing is not required in Plan A; all other health and safety protocols continue including attestation, health screening, masks, enhanced cleaning, one-way hallways and classroom pods.

• School days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This allows us to keep our office hours available for distance learning support. As a reminder, the state requires public schools to offer remote learning as an option to families. Office hours will be adjusted to 2:45-3:30PM to accommodate a longer carpool.

• Wednesdays remain a Student Seminar Day for the remainder of the year. This allows us to offer targeted student interventions, provide tutoring for students who seek extra help and support our distance learners. It also allows us to perform a weekly deep sanitization of our building.

• For our 5th grade families, please note that April 12 is the first day of Plan A for CMS. Due to that and an increased volume of vehicles on our campus, parents should plan for a longer AM and PM commute and carpool. This will improve as students and parents grow accustomed to the new schedule.

• Electives for middle school will continue following an AABB schedule, with their first elective on Monday and Tuesday and their second elective on Thursday and Friday.

• 6th-8th grade families who are concerned about Plan A and therefore want their student to distance learn must contact Dr. Graham at cgraham@lncharter.org by Friday, April 2. Distance learning is a quarter-long commitment so any family that has elected that option or decides to elect that option will continue in that format through the end of the year (May 28).

• The PTO has extended the lunch ordering period deadline to Wednesday, March 31 to allow you an extra day to order additional lunches based on this new information. Here is a link to the lunch ordering website.
