IT’S THE START OF THE 2ND QUARTER
It is imperative that you look at HOME ACCESS regularly to check your child’s grades. Some students are still struggling with being self-driven to complete assignments on their ‘at home’ work day. We believe it is important to establish and maintain a schedule similar to the school day on your child’s at-home work day. We encourage students who are not in the building to log into canvas courses in the morning to be proactive with any questions they may have regarding remote day assignments. This practice not only helps promote a consistent routine for learning but also provides an opportunity for support from our teachers during work hours. Teachers are at Bradley High School from 7:20 a.m. – 2:45 p.m. daily. Email and canvas messages are checked regularly before and after school as well as during teachers’ planning periods. Emails or messages outside of the traditional school day may be answered the following day.

Local Data Keeps Hilliard Schools in Hybrid
As Franklin County’s Public Alert Level changed to Red today, and as community spread around the state is on the rise, we are confident in our local CATS data. We will remain in the Hybrid Instructional Mode per the Board of Education resolution. The district’s partnership with Franklin County Public Health, Columbus Public Health, and the Ohio State University has made the inclusion of local data in our decision-making process a reality.
At the district level, we are not currently exceeding the three thresholds approved by the Board of Education. There is no evidence of COVID-19 spread in our classrooms. We are confident that our practice of six feet of social distancing and the use of masks is working. We thank your teachers and building teams for leading our mitigation efforts to keep our students and staff safe.
We will continue to monitor case counts, and community spread and keep our families updated.
