Dear Parents:
The governor's executive order issued yesterday allows schools to open for in-person learning; it does not require that schools open upon a specified date. Rather, she encouraged flexibility for schools returning to face-to-face learning. For all of the reasons I outlined in my earlier letter to you, St. John's School will follow the plan we announced:
We will remain with our current online teaching and learning format through Wednesday, September 29th. On Thursday, September 30, there will be no classes held, and teachers will be on-campus preparing classrooms. On Friday, October 1, St. John’s will be open for all face-to-face learning. There will be no online option for students once we have returned to campus.
We still feel that this plan guarantees the continuation of solid academic learning while providing an anticipated timeline for face-to-face learning to recommence. We have plans to meet with our athletic director early next week to discuss a timely return to interscholastic athletics.
Thank you for your patience and your support.
