• Cohort C: DESE has asked districts to prioritize our students in specialized programming, e.g., English Language Learners, students with special needs, students identified as being in the lowest 25% of performance, etc. These students will attend school in-person daily, with Wednesdays being half days. You will be notified if your child qualifies.

Full Remote OptionCohort D: This cohort is for students and families who specifically selected for a wholly remote learning experience. These students will be enrolled in the “Massachusetts Virtual Academy” and receive all their instruction using this platform.
– These students will remain registered in STGRSD and will be able to participate in extracurricular offerings if they remain in good standing (conduct and attendance).
– This option will be managed by the state approved Learning Management System- more information forthcoming

Next Steps
In closing
I firmly believe that we have a plan that is both reasonable for application and safe for implementation.
The hybrid model will allow students to access the curriculum and restore their connections with faculty, staff, and administrators.
Educators will be able to deliver meaningful lessons in a controlled environment.
Feedback from students, staff, Committee Members, and community members will be accepted and appreciated.
