******************

The school year has come to an end and the planning for relaunch has begun!

We continue to listen and hear loud and clear that our staff, students, and families emphasize that the following considerations must be of the highest priory in the 2020-2021 SPA Relaunch Plan: 

• health, hygiene & safety protocols aligned with COVID-19 Local, State, and Federal Guidance

• socio-emotional support & inclusive school culture

• instructional rigor, student engagement, and academic support

• regular opportunities for community building and for student performances & exhibitions

• robust and holistic support of our most vulnerable students

• opportunities for stakeholder involvement, effective communication, and a transparent relaunch planning process

We promise to keep the information updates coming and to provide many more opportunities to come together as a SPA Community (over the summer and in the 2020-2021 school year).
