Tomorrow we celebrate Read Across America. Which books are you reading?

A Message from Dr. Carol D. Birks We are excited to welcome back our students and families who have selected the hybrid learning model! We recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic that has descended on us has changed how we learn, teach, and engage as a community of learners. Phase I of our Reopening Plan began on January 26, 2021 and included low incidence special education students. Phase II began on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 with Prek-2 students. Students in Phase III, in... grades 3-12, will return on March 2, 2021. In order to comply with social distancing requirements, students will be divided into two cohorts, labeled Cohorts C and U respectively. Classes for students for students in Cohort C meet on Mondays and Tuesdays, while Cohort U students take classes on Thursdays and Fridays. Each cohort will spend some time learning in a virtual environment as well as in the physical building. All the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines will be followed to the maximum extent possible when students and staff are in their respective buildings. On Wednesdays all classes are conducted virtually. Dr. Carol D. Birks, along with the entire Chester Upland Learning Community, is excited to see Cohort C students on Tuesday, March 2, 2021. If you are not certain which cohort your child is assigned, please contact their school directly to obtain that information. See more
