Question 2

¿El año escolar comienza de forma remota o híbrida? ¿Cuándo vuelven los estudiantes a tiempo completo?

Accepted Answer

El año escolar oficial comienza de forma remota para todos el lunes 21 de septiembre a las 9 a.m., pero solicitamos que todos los estudiantes asistan a una reunión de asesoramiento el jueves 17 de septiembre de 9 a 10 a.m. Los asesores se comunicarán con los estudiantes y las familias el 14 y el 15 de septiembre para asegurarse de que los estudiantes tengan la información de inicio de sesión.
El plan actual de las Escuelas Públicas de Boston es que el 1 de octubre, se invitará a un pequeño grupo de estudiantes a regresar a la escuela en persona. Estos son estudiantes, identificados por las Escuelas Públicas de Boston, que necesitan un gran apoyo. Cuando las Escuelas Públicas de Boston finalicen la lista, nos comunicaremos con las familias incluidas en esa lista. Aún no sabemos si podremos agregar más estudiantes además de los estudiantes identificados por las Escuelas Públicas de Boston.
El plan actual de las Escuelas Públicas de Boston es que todos los demás estudiantes de secundaria regresen en un modelo híbrido (parte de la semana en la escuela, parte de la semana aprendiendo de forma remota) el 16 y 19 de noviembre. Tenga en cuenta que todos los planes están sujetos a cambiar según las pautas de seguridad.

Accepted Answer

The official school year is starting remote for everyone on Monday, September 21 at 9am, but we are requiring all students to come to a remote advisory zoom meeting on Thursday, September 17, from 9-10am.

The current Boston Public Schools plan is then for all other high school students to come back in a hybrid model (part of the week in school, part of the week learning remotely) on November 16 and 19. Please note that all plans are subject to change based on safety guidelines.
