Dear District 87 Families,

Earlier this year, District 87 offered families with students in grades PK-5 the option
to return to school in-person through a hybrid model, or to continue full remote
learning from home.

As the semester has progressed, we understand that some students would benefit
from switching to a different learning model for the spring semester.

A survey will be available the morning of January 4 until 4:30 pm January
7 on Skyward Parent Access​ for PK-5 families to make a selection to change
their student’s learning model for the spring semester. All changes will take effect
on January 19.

Things to know:

     ●   This decision is for the entire second semester, with in-person learning
         beginning the week of January 18. Students will participate in full remote
         learning January 5-15. Reminder — January 4 and 18 are non-attendance
         days for students.
     ●   This decision may result in a student changing teachers — especially those
         who are changing from remote to in-person instruction.
     ●   If no selection is made in Skyward by the deadline, students will continue
         in their current learning model.

If you have any questions about this upcoming survey, please email
connect@district87.org​, contact your building principal, or visit our website for
details at ​www.district87.org/covid​.

Sincerely,

Dr. Barry Reilly
District 87 Superintendent
Queridas Familias del Distrito 87:

Más temprano en el año escolar, el Distrito 87 ofreció a las familias con los
estudiantes de PK-5o grados la opción de regresar a las escuelas en persona con un
modelo híbrido, o para continuar con el aprendizaje remoto entero desde su hogar.

Mientras ha progresado el semestre, entendemos que algunos estudiantes se
beneficiarán con cambiar a un modelo diferente del aprendizaje para el segundo
semestre.

Un formulario será dispuesto a la mañana del 4 de enero hasta las 4:30 pm
el 7 de enero en Skyward Parent Access​ para las familias de PK-5 tomar una
decisión de cambiar el modelo del aprendizaje de su estudiante para el segundo
semestre. Todos los cambios tomarán efecto el 19 de enero.

Información para saber:

   ●   Esta decisión es para el segundo semestre entero, con el inicio del
       aprendizaje en persona la semana del 18 de enero. Todos los estudiantes
       participarán en el aprendizaje remoto entero entre las 5-15 de enero.
       Recuerda- el 4 y el 18 de enero no hay clases para estudiantes.
   ●   Esta decisión puede resultar en el cambio de maestros- especialmente los
       quienes cambian del aprendizaje remoto al aprendizaje en persona.
   ●   Si no selecciona ninguna opción antes de la fecha límite los estudiantes
       continuarán con su modelo del aprendizaje actual.

Si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor envíe un correo electrónico a
connect@district87.org​ o comuníquese con el/la director/a, o visite nuestro sitio
web para detalles a ​www.district87.org/covid​.

Sinceramente,
Dr. Barry Reilly
District 87 Superintendent
