IB Bulldogs Blast

If classes are canceled on Monday, January 10, 2022, limited In-Person enrichment will be available based on our current staffing levels. 


Greetings Tubman Families, 


Based on the expected staffing levels at our school Monday, January 10, 2022, regular classes will be canceled for our students if the district closes schools. 


While the situation is fluid we want to support our students the best as we can with current staffing levels we have. We will be offering limited in-person enrichment with the current staffing levels, and asynchronous support to all families. Asynchronous support is learning that can be completed at home while in-person schooling is not in session.


Our Tubman educators are eager to provide instruction for all students when school resumes. We continue to be hopeful an agreement can be reached. We care deeply for our students, our educators, and you. At Tubman we are committed to supporting our Bulldogs in receiving the highest quality instruction in a safe and nurturing environment. We are stronger together as we work together to remain one Tubman Community. Please see below the limited enrichment activities we are able to offer at this time.
