Parents can request FT remote schooling

District 300 families can still request full-time remote learning for the 2nd quarter. Children who have been full-time remote-learners for the first quarter are asked to sign up for the second quarter so the district is clear about who wants to continue. The form to sign up for full-time remote learning for the 2nd quarter is at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7q3Qs35McGJsXAjWugtX-adI-h7uZ7TNFfBK2mhRha6Porg/viewform, and the window will remain open through Friday, Oct. 2.
