Ossining Fills Enrollment For Virtual Academy

OSSINING, NY — Ossining school officials, as part of their re-opening plan, offered parents the option of having their children attend school in a "virtual academy."

They received more than 1,200 requests to have students placed in a fully remote setting.

"At this time we will no longer be accepting requests to join the virtual academy," schools Superintendent Raymond Sanchez said Thursday in a letter to the community. "This decision will help our building principals complete the placement process."

The seventh district reopening discussion meeting with parents will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday evening. The middle- and high-school principals will host a session along with Special Education, ENL, Transportation and Health & Safety.

Also coming up in August:

• Aug. 24 - PHS Virtual Freshmen Parent/Student orientation
• August 25-28 - Freshmen Virtual Tours of OHS
