Asynchronous Day

Friday, August 25, 2023

Our first asynchronous day of the 2023-2024 school year is just around the corner, Friday, August 25th. There will be no in-person or live virtual learning. This day allows students to engage with their coursework independently while our dedicated staff holds conferences with parents. This day is dedicated to content review and application of previously taught materials. No new content will be introduced, allowing students to reinforce their understanding. We will share more information about student assignments as we move closer to the date.
