On August 11, 2020 at 6PM, the Academy held a follow-up meeting to provide more specifics regarding its reopening plan.  The following information is accessible from that meeting: 

1. The audio remarks and partial Q&A (connectivity issued caused the recording to stop prematurely)
2. The presentation slides that can be reviewed in conjunction with the audio
3. A summary of scenarios which would require classroom or school closings, consistent with DOE requirements
4. A photo of the table barriers to be used, in conjunction with other risk mitigation steps, in K-1 (TO BE UPLOADED)
   

 The August 6^th presentation and related links are still available for replay and address many topics not covered on  August 11^th.  We recommend you become familiar with the materials in both presentations. 

A survey will go out to all families who have registered and finalized the FACTS set up process to elect in-person or remote learning.  Responses are required by end of day August 18^th. 

WE ONCE AGAIN REMIND RETURNING FAMILIES THAT THEY MUST COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION AND FACTS SET-UP PROCESS NOW IF THEY INTEND TO RETURN FOR THE 2020/2021 ACADEMIC YEAR OR RISK NOT HAVING AN AVAILABLE SEAT.  THIS WAS DISCUSSED IN DETAIL DURING THE AUGUST 11^TH PRESENTATION. 

Thank you for being part of the Divine Wisdom Family.
