Dear Parents and Guardians,
The NDB Administration and Faculty have been working diligently in planning and preparing robust synchronous programming with NDB’s Hybrid Model, that includes both online and on-campus engagement. However, as much as we have trained and planned to open school with this model on August 17, we must invest 6 more weeks in monitoring the situation, using a revised distance learning protocol. The first day of school has not changed and is August 17. From August 17 to September 25, we will be conducting school completely online. We are hopeful that we will be able to launch the NDB Hybrid Model on Monday, September 28. We are in close collaboration with Serra and Mercy to make this transition from online learning to the hybrid model together.
We will continue to monitor the data and agency oversights that are working to safely open schools and keep businesses operating in San Mateo County.
We will be sharing more information soon about our revised distance learning protocol, NDB Online 2020-2021. Our unique NDB online community learning program has been developed with one goal in mind: to ensure that your daughters are actively engaged in curriculum, creativity, and community in support of their educational goals.
We will remain in close contact with you as circumstances evolve. Thank you for your partnership and support as we work together in support of your daughters. We will weather this storm together with health and safety for all!
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
In Notre Dame,
