Dear Deep Run Families,
We have completed three weeks of the full online distance learning program and we are very proud of the hard work of teachers, parents and students. We have accomplished a lot in the past few weeks and there is still a lot of learning to take place until the end of the school year. The information below provides further clarification and expectations for attendance and grading. This is in addition to information previously shared from the HPCSS website.
