End of Week Update: May 8 2020

As we move into the homestretch of the school year, below are our projected schedules/calendars for the final two weeks of school, this summer, and the start of the new 2020–21 school year. We must remain flexible as these schedules are based on current conditions and the hope that Georgia will see a downward trajectory of contagion in the upcoming weeks. If conditions change, we will modify plans as needed and communicate those changes. Rhonda, Sarah, and external directors will provide additional details for EED, UED, and external departments. 

Please note that parents will be apprised of our end-of-year plans in next Tuesday’s all-school communication.
