CAMPUS REOPENING UPDATE - 50% CAPACITY
This morning, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and Dr. Virginia Caine of the Marion County Public Health Department announced that high schools in Marion County will need to limit in-person attendance to 50% of capacity and adopt a "hybrid" in-person/online instructional model for the beginning of the school year. At Brebeuf Jesuit, we have been planning for multiple scenarios, and so we are prepared to pivot from our full in-person return plan, to a hybrid model.
All students will be assigned to one of two cohorts and will attend in-person classes two or three days per week, and will join their classes live online from home on the other days. We do not anticipate, at this time, that students’ course selections will need to change.
We are currently in the process of assigning the two student cohorts. These will not be alphabetical; they will be assigned with the goal of balancing class sizes and maximizing the ability to physically distance in classrooms and throughout the building. However, siblings will be placed in the same cohort for family transportation purposes. If you have specific carpool needs for cohorting purposes, we ask that you please inform us of this need by
Saturday, August 1 by emailing the information to
reopening@brebeuf.org.
Students who have elected a fully online option, will still be able to do so. As a reminder, the deadline for letting us know if you are not comfortable returning to in-person instruction and would like to elect to be fully online, is this
Saturday, August 1. You can still send that request to Shani Simonson at
ssimonson@brebeuf.org.
We will have much more specific detail regarding the layout of our hybrid plan for you in the coming week, and are moving forward with our plan to kick-off the academic year on Thursday, August 13.
