Dear Latin Community, Out of an abundance of caution, for the general wellness of the Latin community, and in support of Governor Cooper's just-announced public school closing, we will move to Remote Learning upon our return from Spring Break. We will teach via Remote Learning for two weeks, and we will reassess in two weeks. We are happy to share that yesterday's teacher training day was extremely productive and positive. At the end of the day teachers left energized and ready to roll out a robust Remote Learning program. Thank you to everyone for your flexibility on such short notice. The workday was put to good use and we feel certain that after the next teacher workday on Monday, March 23, we'll be ready to go remote. Monday will include continued teacher professional development and other training to finalize protocols. On Tuesday, March 24, we expect to conduct a live test of our Remote Learning procedures with students. The actual form and content of the test will differ based on the age of your child(ren). Please be alert for a communication that will have clear instructions about Remote Learning for you and your child(ren) from your Division Head(s), and be aware that we expect all students to be available and online at some point on Tuesday. Charlotte Latin is committed to ensuring that all of our students are able to fully participate in Remote Learning. Therefore, any family which needs support to secure reliable Internet access may confidentially request assistance by contacting Sonja Taylor, Director of Diversity and Inclusion. Remote Learning live test with students is Tuesday, March 24. The full Remote Learning program begins on Wednesday, March 25. While we feel we are in very good shape with this move to Remote Learning, we ask everyone to remember that what we are doing is new — new to students, teachers, and parents — and request that we all give each other grace in these challenging times. Sincerely, Chuck Baldecchi Head of School Thad Sharrett '89 Chair, Board of Trustees
