Great start of the school year. We are currently 100% virtual. About 700 devises have been passed out to the students.
Good first day. Experienced some technical difficulties at the beginning of the day, but the tech team was able to quickly address it.
Today we had 80-85% participation rate. Would like to see this number to increase.
Currently we are at 720 students enrolled, which is below our targeted number of 800. Team is working through the wait list to enroll additional students. .
Thank you to Katie Delp for your leadership, dedication, and engagement during your tenure as the Chair of the Board.
