Families,
We know there have been many questions about opening schools. Please know Caddo has a plan that includes delaying the start of the school year until August 24. Safety has been our school’s top priority and we are excited to welcome students back while following guidance from medical professionals. In welcoming back our students, two options will be available for students at AC Steere.

Option 1 is the Traditional Model: Beginning Aug. 24, students will report to school for in-person instruction Monday through Friday. Class sizes will be reduced to allow for social distancing and an emphasis will be made on reading and math. Safeguards will be in place to protect students and staff.

Option 2 is the Virtual Model: Families have the option for students to attend school virtually with students learning from teachers right here at AC STeere. Students will receive the same level of instruction as those in person while learning from home using Caddo’s new, user-friendly online platform.

Caddo's Parish also has a Strong Start document that can be accessed here: strong_start_document.pdf

What are the differences in the two options??
