Dear Upper School Community,

 

#HBatHome begins tomorrow and I am writing to you all with some answers to your questions. We know from our peers who have been at this for weeks now that remote school is unlike anything we have done before so we are leaning in carefully, working to maintain some of the hallmarks of the HB experience. 

 

We are trying this schedule initially and are committed to quickly assessing where we are and what we need to adjust. The past few weeks have taught us that flexibility is key. We are thoughtfully incorporating this into our framework. Each of our students has her own unique schedule at school and we are giving them the agency to create a daily plan that works at home, given the unique circumstances each family faces right now. Below you will see the basic outline of a daily schedule but know that no two will look alike.

 

I also attached the Remote Learning Overview to this email as a PDF for your reference and convenience. We look forward to your feedback which we will solicit via your mentor next week. 

 

Best,

Hallie/Ms. Ritzman
