On March 11, Superintendent James Santana announced via email that students in Cohorts X and Y must be present the days they are expected to come in. If they attend school virtually three times without an excused COVID-related reason on the days their cohort comes into school, they will be transferred to Cohort V (fully virtual).

According to Santana, the purpose of this rule is to maximize the effectiveness of the school’s current learning model as it has become “difficult to plan and facilitate learning when a large number of students are out unexpectedly.” This new rule went into effect March 12.
