Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your engagement as we prepare to expand optional in-person learning opportunities for the second semester. The feedback you provided was essential and necessary as we reviewed our plans.
Based on your feedback and other input throughout the community, Baltimore City Public Schools will delay the launch of the next phase of expanded optional in-person learning in the second semester until the first two weeks of March 2021.
School leaders, teachers, and other school-based staff have noted that the shift to in-person teaching and learning requires additional time to implement correctly. This delay will provide additional time for families and staff to understand and prepare for this experience fully. This move will also allow staff more time to make appointments to get their first dose of the vaccine.
The new start dates are as follows:
Families may decide whether to participate in in-person learning or remain in virtual learning. For charter and contract schools, visit our charter schools page to see which schools will be opting into each phase of in-person learning, and visit your school’s website to review specific in-person learning plans.
City Schools has also developed a series of helpful resources to keep you well informed. Thank you for your continued support and feedback regarding the second semester.
