Request for change to Face-to-Face Instruction
If your child is a current All Virtual student, as the parent and/or guardian, you may make a request to have your child moved to a Face-to-Face, two-day a week, Cohort status, by completing the Google Form at the link below before midnight on Thursday, December 17th. There is no need to complete this form if your child is already a Face-to-Face Student as they will remain such for the 2021 Spring Semester.

This request is not a guarantee for re-entry to Face-to-Face instruction, as we are still bound by restriction in the number of students allowable in our classrooms under Governor Cooper’s Phase B status, and by transportation numbers allowable on buses. Parents will be alerted in mid-January if their child is granted the opportunity to return to Face-to-Face Instruction.
Request for Tutoring
Our teachers will begin tutoring at the end of January for our Face-to-Face and Virtual students. Tutoring sessions will typically be on Tuesdays from 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM for Cohort A students and on Thursdays from 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM for Cohort B students. We will also have tutoring available for our Virtual Students, from 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM on Wednesdays and/or Remote Learning Days. Our Teachers may make contact with parents to suggest their child attend tutorial sessions, but as a parent, you may make a request for your child to be part of our tutoring program by completing the Google Form at the link below before midnight on Thursday, December 17th.

This request is not a guarantee that tutoring services will be made available. We are bound by restrictions to the number of students allowable in a classroom and on our buses. Parents will be contacted in mid-January if tutoring services and transportation can be provided along with any pertinent details.
