Entering from or Returning to In-Person Learning
We recognize that parents/guardians and/or students may want to switch between in-person learning and Virtual Learning at St. Isidore. It is important to note that, for health and safety reasons, and because of the impact switching would have on staffing, physical distancing and space allocation, it will not be possible to immediately transition between the two models. As a result, an opportunity to enter St. Isidore or to return to in-person learning will be provided at three key dates during the school year as follows:
Elementary
Opportunity to Change | Date the Change of Class would Take Effect |
Window Opens to request a change | Deadline for Requesting Change |

The opportunity to enter the St Isidore or to return to in-person learning will be provided at the end of each quadmester as follows:

All parents and students considering a change to St. Isidore must be aware of the course catalogue.
While St. Isidore offers many courses, it is critical to note that at this time St. Isidore will not be offering: senior Business/Computing, Co-op and hands-on/Tech courses.
Those courses need to be completed at the home school.
Movement from one model to another will be requested through the Administrator of the student’s home school.
Remote Learning Without Technology
We recognize that for some students with IEPs, there may be a reason to access education without the use of technology. The assigned St Isidore staff will connect with families to ensure student needs are being met and alternate means of accessing the curriculum will be explored. If a family selects Full Remote Learning but is unable to access technology, support will be provided.
