Tri-State STEM+M Students and Families, As we continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and attempt to operate at the safest means for students and staff as possible, the following information will be the layout for the next 3 weeks and through at least the 1st 9 weeks. Week of Jan 11th – All Virtual (Every student virtual, all staff present in the building) Regular Daily Block Schedule Week of Jan 18th – MLK Jr day on Monday (NO SCHOOL) - IN-PERSON Tuesday through Friday unless student has opted for 1st 9 weeks Virtual Learning. Regular Daily Block Schedule (THIS WEEK IS AN ODD WEEK DUE TO HOLIDAY) Week of Jan 25th – In-Person Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday unless student has opted for 1st 9 weeks Virtual Learning. Wednesday is Virtual/Remediation Day. Regular Daily Block Schedule. This schedule will remain at least throughout the 1st 9 Weeks of the Spring 2021 Semester. Unless something changes, the schedule for the week of January 25th will remain intact throughout at least the 1st 9 weeks grading period. This is consistent with the calls from the Governor and ODE that school staff and most vulnerable persons will have the COVID-19 Vaccination option being made available and administered by early March. We are allowing those students and families who are high risk to remain virtual if they so choose. We are taking what we feel are the most appropriate steps possible that will allow our school to be open, remain open and to operate safely throughout the semester. **To be clear, there are no separate groups A and B like we saw previously saw in the Fall semester. Unless a student has opted for Virtual-Learning, they are to be present at the school Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday will be used as our virtual catch-up and remediation day. We have attached an image of a calendar to assist with more understanding. Virtual Option Form is located here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfM1y6MbKj13Gy0SE9FwgEGXMHkakyHx5GTIK97K7-eNInlWA/viewform

Tri-State STEM+M families, As a reminder all students are to report to their classes via virtual format tomorrow January 4th beginning with 1st block at 8:00am. There will be no separate groups for this week. Every student is expected to be in class, virtually, Monday thru Friday. Thank you

Tri-State STEM+M Students and Families, Due to some significant changes in ODE guidance along with a spike in cases due to the Christmas holiday, Tri-State STEM+M will begin Monday January 4th in an all-virtual format. This change is currently just for the first week of classes but, as we saw in the fall, we may need to pivot to change at any point. During this week staff will be teaching classes during regular school hours via Zoom M-F and we will also be working on some classroom redesigns to help us with the new ODE guidance. Without these classroom changes, we would no longer be in compliance. This guidance change was unexpected and just came through last night. Our goal is to get every student who is able, back into the school building as soon as safely possible. We will be sending out information on Monday for those families who wish to stay virtual for the first 9 weeks. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. Have a wonderful New Year! Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Davidson
