Distance Learning Day on December 4!

On Friday, December 4, we are having a distance learning day for our 6th graders. The students will stay at home that day but will have class with their teachers through a variety of interactive, online technologies. Our hope is that this "test run" will help the School prepare for an unlikely closure because of public health issues and to test technologies that may be of benefit to our teachers and students in the short-term. Our home-schooling division, Calvert Education Services, is partnering with us in this effort. Check back for more details after December 4! The picture below is of a few 6th graders in Mr. Ewen's science class learning some of the technology they will need to use on December 4.
