The purpose of this document is to assist you in making an informed decision about your child’s return to school.

We understand this document does not answer every possible question or concern you might have. We are preparing a more comprehensive plan that will be presented at the July 9th School Board Meeting.

The county is asking parents to complete a survey indicating their intentions for the 2020/2021 school year.

While the survey is not a binding statement of your final intentions for the 2020-2021 school year, it is vital for you to select the option you most likely will choose. The survey will be available until Tuesday, July 7th, at 11:59 p.m. We greatly appreciate your help in completing this survey. 

The district will provide two possible options (Return to school or Nassau Virtual) for your child for the 2020-2021 school year. Please indicate the option that applies to your child.
