Hybrid Discovery - Updates
Friday January 22
Thanks to all parents who were able to attend the Parent Circles. If you were not able to attend there will be one more opportunity to join us. You can also view the slides from our meetings here.
The weekly COVID activity report issued yesterday shows that we are still at high risk and need to stay remote for the time being. As soon as the conditions improve, we will let you know and survey each of our students’ families to figure out who would like to send their children to the school building.Tuesday January 19
Tomorrow Wednesday January 20, we are inviting the children to an Inauguration Watch Party, starting at 11:30 am. Office hours will not open. The link for the watch party will be emailed to the students. Classes will resume at 1:30pm as usual.

We gave our students the opportunity to share, "what they know and what they feel" about the events that unfolded these last days in Washington, D. C.. We wanted to make sure our children could share their reactions freely, and in a safe space.
As educators, we strive to not impose our feelings upon our students, but we certainly feel a responsibility to equip our children with all the tools to think critically about what they hear and what they see.
The weekly COVID activity report keeps us at high risk level. We will continue to work remotely until the risk level decreases.
All 8th graders applying to Bard High School should attend their open house tomorrow at 1:00pm. You will learn about their admission process. This is the link.
