SOMSD Return to School Preference Form for January 2021 – Deadline to Submit Decision, Mon., Jan. 4, 2021

Dear SOMSD Families,

As shared in late October, the District’s tentative resumption to hybrid-in-person instruction will begin on Tuesday, January 19.  We understand that some families may still be apprehensive about sending their children back to school during this pandemic. Knowing this, the District would like to provide parents/guardians with flexibility, but also needs to plan in advance for scheduling purposes and ensure we are abiding by social distancing requirements.

After reviewing the pre-recorded Return to School Town Hall Webex (to be released on 12/17) we ask that you please indicate your child’s(ren’s) plans for return to school (continue virtual instruction or hybrid in-person instruction). This information is critical for the District to plan for students returning to the school building. Please indicate your preference for instruction by Monday, January 4, 2021.  If you have multiple children in the school district, complete one and only one form for each child.
