Message from Superintendent Saunders
Dear MAPS Students, Parents, and Guardians
The Board of Education, at its meeting this morning , approved the district’s “Back to School” plan. In our plan, we have three potential options for students: face to face instruction five days a week, 100% virtual learning, or a hybrid of in person and online (i.e. core classes in person each day and electives online).
Perhaps the #1 question I’ve received from parents struggling to make the best choice for their child’s education this fall is what the MAPS online learning will look like? Secondary to this question, the #1 request I’ve heard from parents is the desire to be connected to MAPS phenomenal classroom teachers. I’m proud to say that all our teachers and counselors will be highly involved in educating our online learners. Please see below links to descriptions of online learning for each of our various levels. I know I have many more questions to answer to help families make this choice and we’ll do our best to start answering more of those on a daily basis. We will continue to update our FAQ with responses to your questions, so please keep checking in. We’ll also host a virtual Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, August 18th starting at 4:00 p.m. We’ll be using the questions we’ve already been receiving to bring more clarity to what Fall 2020 will look like.
Sincerely,
William B. Saunders,
Superintendent
