Dear Parents: As Akron Public Schools continues to plan for the second nine weeks, which starts on November 11, 2020, we need to hear from you regarding which learning environment you want for your children. The school board will be making a final decision by the end of October regarding whether we continue with 100% remote education or whether we have students physically attending school at least two days per week. If the board decides to have students attend school in the building at least two days per week, parents/guardians will still have a choice to keep their children 100% remote. For the district to plan for the potential of at least two days per week of site-based school, we need to know which option you will choose for each of your children. We ask that you please complete the form linked below to indicate your preference for your student(s) to continue remote learning or transition to blended learning with some days in school and some days working remotely from home based upon a district-determined schedule. You must complete a separate form for each child in your family. The survey is open from October 1 to October 9. Once the board votes on a final model for the second nine weeks, we will ask you to make a final decision on 100% remote or APS Blended Learning. Thank you in advance for your participation. Sincerely, David James, Ed.D. Superintendent Akron Public Schools
