- Students participating in special class programming (15:1:1, 12:1:1, 12:1:(3+1), etc.) will attend school in-person Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday unless they have opted for Remote Only Learning. On Wednesdays, students will engage in remote learning and may have an opportunity for in-person related services.
