The Oasis Academy School Board met last night and agreed to return students back to full-time learning effective March 29th. Be- cause students have spring break the week of March 22nd, that gives teachers two weeks to make preparations.
K-8th grade students will be in class from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. High school schedules will remain flexible depending on the individualized scheduling for their classes.
Most public comment at the board meeting centered around students being required to wear the mask for seven hours. Several parents expressed concern over another schedule change this year. Most parents were excited about the opportunity for their children to go back to school.
School Board member, Samantha Gomes said she is pleased students will return to full time instruction. “I’m so glad to see our kids going back to school and that we can provide them with learning opportunities, while still giving the families who want to continue with online learning that opportunity.”
Oasis Academy released the following details regarding the return to in-person learning, which beings on March 29, after spring break, for k-8 students and March 15 for high school students. K-8 students will attend school from 8-3 Monday-Thursday and High school students will start to return to a daily schedule on Monday.
Those families who want to remain fully virtual can do so for the remainder of this year. “We look forward to getting our students back in person under a more typical schedule so we can start to build their stamina for school and increase instructional minutes,” said Melissa Mackedon, Oasis Academy Chief Executive Officer.
