Good morning, parents!
It is hard to believe that we are only 2 months away from beginning the 2020-21 school year.
Here are some very important pieces of information for you.
If you presently have a sibling (child) who is eligible for HAST (grades 7-12) but is NOT currently attending HAST (but they have a brother or sister who IS attending HAST next year), please let Mrs Otero know THIS WEEK if you want to enroll the sibling at HAST. ???? ????? ??? ?????????

Due to recommendations for schools to manage social distancing requirements and student/staff health and well-being as we move into the coming school year, we anticipate the following change to our school operations:
Monday and Wednesday, students in grades 6,7, and 8 will be in the building for classes.
Tuesday and Thursday, students in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 will be in the building for classes.
By alternating middle school and high school students in the building, we will have more space for social distancing, as we will open the walls to make larger classrooms.
Middle school students will have virtual learning days Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
High school students will have virtual learning days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
No students will be in the building on Fridays, to allow us to conduct a weekly deep cleaning and sanitization of the buidling…in addition to the daily cleaning that will occur. ????? ???? ????
I am sharing this information with parents NOW so that you can plan accordingly.
We anticipate that we will use this hybrid calendar (face to face learning AND virtual learning) at least for the first semester. We will re-evaluate for the second semester as soon as possible during the Fall, based on recommendations from the state government (our governor, the Department of Health, and the Department of Education).
We will be sending out more information throughout the summer. ??????? ?????? ??? ???????? In the meantime, I wanted our parents to have this very important information.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Dr Egan
