IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM TRMS Concerning Hybrid Schedule
November 20, 2020
Follow-up from the last post. Please know that TRMS has worked diligently to stay in school using a regular school-day schedule as long as possible, but we now have 125 TRMS students/staff either isolated or quarantined. We have got to get into a schedule that allows us to have school regularly with the majority of students.
Beginning Wednesday, December 2, TRMS will move to Plan B (Level 2), a hybrid schedule until further notice.
TSSD Administration will meet weekly to discuss plans to continue the hybrid schedule. The change back to all in person learning will occur only when TRMS returns to Level 4 (normal schedule).
TRMS Hybrid Schedule-TRMS students will be divided into two groups. Each week students will receive 2 days of in-person instruction and 3 days of virtual instruction. Fridays will be virtual for all learners to prevent confusion.
Groups are listed here:
Group 1 – “Gold Group”: Students with the last name beginning with A-I
Monday – in person
Tuesday – virtual
Wednesday – in person
Thursday – virtual
Friday – virtual
Group 2 – “Black Group”: Students with the last name beginning with J-Z
Monday – virtual
Tuesday – in person
Wednesday – virtual
Thursday – in person
Friday – virtual
Notes
• Exceptions will be made for siblings with different last names.
• Students who are already 100% virtual will remain 100% virtual.
• Buses will run their regular schedules each day.
• Students can submit breakfast and lunch requests using the Student Center Google Classroom on their virtual days. Breakfast and lunch can be picked up at the school.
• For students living in town that have problems with virtual learning, the Phelan Education Center (MAC Program) will be available.
• Attendance will be taken daily for in person and virtual learners.
If you have any questions, please contact the school at 855-2422.
