FAQs- Elementary Hybrid (In-Person) and Distance Learning Models- Beginning Nov. 30, 2020



What happens to the students in the Hybrid model if Monday is a holiday? I am confused by how to fill out the registration form for Elementary Hybrid/Distance Learning Choice. What is the link to fill out the elementary registration form? Where can I find the In-Person Learning & Safety Plan? I am having difficultly finding my Q Parent Connection pin and password, what do I do? How do I know if my registration went through? I want my child to stay with their teacher no matter the model I choose. If the County moves back to the purple tier after the schools open in Hybrid will they have to be closed down again? Regarding Hybrid, will efforts be made to put children from the same household on the same AB schedule? Will students who checked out devices at the beginning of the year be able to keep them in case they are quarantined? Will after-school care be provided?
