You can make your selection in one of two ways: By Electronic Form - complete and submit the link below for your PreK-2 student. If you have more than one child in PreK through second grade, you will need to submit a separate form for each child. https://forms.gle/Bz8Nt2CvPad3HScF8 By Phone - call us at 215-400-7010 to inform us of your selection. The school is open for phone calls between 8:30 am - 2:30 pm. If you don't make a selection by Friday,March 19th your child will remain 100% digital. Families selecting hybrid learning will be contacted by their child’s school between March 24-26, 2021 regarding next steps. As always, families that choose hybrid learning can return to 100% digital learning at any time. If there are more students registered than we have space allowable, we will conduct a lottery on Monday, March 22nd.
