If a family chooses to pivot their pre-K through second grade student to the hybrid learning model, he or she will have two days per week of in-person instruction and three days per week of online learning.
The new schedule would take effect the week of April 5 after all pre-K through second grade students who are already enrolled in the hybrid learning model have successfully begun some in-person instruction.
If a family does not respond to the survey, their student will continue with all-remote learning. Families are also permitted to remain all-virtual or revert back to online-only instruction after originally choosing to partake in the hybrid learning model.

PHILADELPHIA Sonny Ho was a 16-year-old Philly high school student when he landed his first job.
“I was a porter, doing cleanup,” he said. “After school I threw out the trash, mopped the floor, and hosed down the kitchen in the Dunkin’ Donuts at Erie-Torresdale. I made about $100 (a week) and was so happy for it.”
