Dear QVHS Students and Families,

Find out what's happening in Sewickleyfor free with the latest updates from Patch.

We understand that the past few months have been very challenging for everyone and look forward to welcoming students back into the building on January 11, 2021. At that time, we will transition to our T2 instructional model. With students and staff returning to the building, our goal is to keep everyone safe and healthy. We will continue to follow the district's health and safety plan and implement essential procedures, including mandatory face coverings for all, frequent hand washing, appropriate cleaning/sanitation protocols, physical distancing in classrooms, common areas, and while traveling hallways/stairwells. We will also follow the same transportation procedures in place for the first trimester and use a staggered dismissal schedule for on-campus students. Please contact Mrs. Amanda Gilmore, QVHS school nurse, to report positive COVID-19 results as soon as possible. For everyone's safety, students who are sick should not come to the building. Students who exhibit COVID-19 symptoms while in the building will be sent home.

Beginning January 11, 2021, teachers will be livestreaming lessons on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (see student schedule below). Students who are not in the building will join the livestreamed class from home using Zoom. All students, hybrid and fully online, will engage in asynchronous learning on Wednesdays and will have the opportunity to meet with teachers during their office hours for additional help and support. Wednesday office hours take place from 10:30 – 11:30 am and 12:00 – 3:15 pm. Students should make arrangements with their teachers to meet during this time. Students must log in to Schoology at some time each Wednesday to be marked present for the day.

Sincerely,

Deborah Riccobelli, QVHS Principal Abby Bator, QVHS Assistant Principal
