Lower Merion HS Lays Out Hybrid Plan To Get Students In Building

ARDMORE, PA — Lower Merion High School is hosting digital meetings that will inform families with the procedures and expectations regarding the transition to in-person learning while prioritizing the safety of students and staff.

In a letter to the school community, Principal Sean Hughes said the school is hosting Zoom webinars for all students at Lower Merion High School.

The meetings will feature a presentation of the revised hybrid model and the measures the district is taking to prioritize safety.

Families will be able to submit questions and officials we will answer the most frequently asked questions. Submit questions online here.

Families with 10th through 12th grade students will have their Zoom webinar on Thursday, Oct. 8

A separate webinar for ninth grade families will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Register for the Oct. 7 webinar here.

In addition, Hughes said LMHS cohorts will no longer use "A" and "B" delineations and instead shift to "Maroon" and "Gray" cohort designations, respectively.

The Maroon cohort will go to school Mondays and Wednesdays while the Gray cohort will learn from home.

Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Gray cohort will go to school while the Maroon cohort learns from home.

While learning from home, students will be connected in real time with their teacher and peers in the classroom, so learning will move forward on a daily basis

All students will experience asynchronous learning on Fridays with access to all of their teachers.
