Unfortunately, Shawnee Heights Elementary School is experiencing a significant increase in staff absentees due to COVID-19 positive cases, quarantines, and other illnesses. We have managed these absences so far this week; however, due to the shortage of teachers and support staff, it is best for us to move from our current hybrid instructional model to remote learning for tomorrow, Friday, January 29, 2021.
Fortunately, we have planned for this scenario and are ready to make the transition quickly. We plan to resume our regular hybrid scenario on Monday, February 1, 2021. However, we will send out further communication by Sunday at noon to confirm that we can resume classes.
Please know that we are taking this action to produce the best learning environment possible for your students. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our school's office at 357-5400.
As a pro-active step to help our families better prepare for the potential inclement weather forecasted for Monday, January 25, 2021, we have decided to switch next week’s full remote learning day from Wednesday to Monday.
Group A Schedule – Remote Learning on January 25th, 28th, and 29th. In school learning on January 26th and 27th.
Group B Schedule – Remote Learning on January 25th, 26th, and 27th. In school learning on January 28th and 29th.
