so again I miss Keith I am the director of student support services at Merrick Academy on charter school and what that means I but those abuses children go here are some of you on here a new your new to on the Merrick family I oversee all special education on the counseling department. Clinician the department of school nurse the dean of the English language Learners apartment or academic pension summer programs in Richmond program which is why y'all get so many emails from me because I participate in a bunch of different things of school so last year with school clothes and I did I was giving like a month to put together a virtual summer program and we it's summer school we had spring board and he's all virtual and and I also have a summer enrichment program which included math basketball arts and crafts origami and some other act and drumming as well and so this year's week of the year of mostly remote instruction one is that we open the Learning Center at Merrick and some of you who own here your children attend the Learning Center The Learning Center we decide to open based on the need of family sharing this with you because it's going to lead into why I know we're ready to do it in person of summer program which is what we're doing and so the Learning Center we serve 70-plus Mesmerize on him Miss Mariah runs the daily day-to-day activities Learning Center and so we serviced family lot of family members on here who are essential go to a First Responders people who just have to go to work we have students families who are in between housing we have students who get who might have a one-to-one para and if you're home you get that power for 3 hours virtually up to 15 hours they come to school they get them all day and so there was a real need and so with servicing that me we open the center starting on the 7th of December and was still running and because we ran the center we were able to really practice what does it mean to run a school essentially right even though the kids come and all of their learning is virtual does it mean to do health and safety screening right how do you engage the special little one little kids want to hug they don't care anything about covid and they run all at the same time I mean excited to see each other so like all of these These are the real thing that happened there's busing with dealing with busting kids eating in their classroom like how do you train kids to like wash their hands it oh my God you sneeze in your face mask so like go get another car like all of those like things that you can read a manual on but it's not until you actually dealing with the kids did they do you really see what you need to do so the Learning Center has been at the training ground for what we need to do to open and so I have full confidence that because of the work that we've done here and a lot of the work that there's a whole new ventilation system in the class it is top knock it's going to watch a video so you can actually see what the school looks like now it's it's better than what any of the deal we schools have been with a lot of time invested a lot of money and making sure that the classrooms estate and we've also expect right what it is when someone and and and I'll tell you more or that has happened where they've gotten cold from someone outside of the school right kid comes in school and I'm knocking on wood right now because we had zero transmission today meaning kids adults who have Kobe but haven't transmitted it to anyone in the school and it goes through testing and all of those things that we've done to everything that I'm speaking of today is not like hypothetical or theoretical something we're going to try these are things that we already doing okay so I'm before I begin I'm going to let Miss Mariah she can turn the camera on on meet herself and introduce her to you all hi everyone my name is Mariah and I am the coordinator at Merritt so I deal with the day-to-day process with the kids and you know making sure that just overseeing everything they can show that they're online or on zoom and everything literally so I just hope I just Aidan assist with anything that was Keith Mease anything that the operational team needs Miss Melanie so yeah and so memorize all right handed Ronnie said that you probably have number and she calls and you call her then if you have my number so I'm going to get into the slides and then at the end you'll be a chance for you for there to be a question and I will say as I'm speaking to but I'm also experiencing as a working parent having to reach 161 and middle schools 11th and one and elementary school so I can expect I think all three levels of schooling right now during covid and one thing I can say is that while for some kids some kid actually his Burger pieces been there like really good there go to the classes that fine the social impact and impact with everybody and not in a good way for the younger kids learning in person is very different then learning to a computer install tomb have an effective summer program this year is very important that we have in person instruction in person instructions to me there is no point in doing a summer program what would happen what's happening all school year when we see that there's a lawsuit so so so that having in person was a very intentional decision that we made it and again having the practice of running the Learning Center we know that we have the capacity to capability in the know how to unlock a safe and effective way that he's in line the Department of Health in the city. So that's what I'm going to begin the video I mean the slides Shimmer rain, can I see you on here miss gave one of the Paris at Merrick Academy how you doing I don't know if she's okay so I'm going to I'm going to go back to the first live okay still Summer Academy at Matt give you a program overview okay so the program is for Rising kindergarteners through Rising 5th graders so what does that mean if your child is currently Pre-K kindergarten first second third or fourth then they can enroll in the program if your child is turning the fifth grade in their graduating then the program isn't good for them so just children who answering the school and up and knows Rising 5th graders it's going to be here at Merrick Academy and it's going to begin Tuesday July 6th through Thursday August 12th the daily schedule is Monday to Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 2:45 a.m. across the street and students will be provided by and snack daily attendance if you're in grade catered to and you have opted to be in the hybrid program that schedule is Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday and Wednesday was used as if use as a day to do the deep cleaning and the intention behind that was that we were having two different the agent comes in Monday and Tuesday you do a thorough cleaning on Wednesday Thursday Friday this week because it's the same kids coming in the building we're going to stay in the deep cleaning for Friday here is a sample schedule Edwards still working some things out slow cater to they come in at 8:30 8:30 to 9 they'll be breakfast will be breakfast and arrival time at 9 a.m. and I'm working out some stuff earlier time for those of you who might need to drop them off before 8:30 you'll get more information around that so that you can drop so you can drop them off earlier springboard the springboard program is a phonics program we did it last summer we did it the spring some of your children may be in it it is a program for Chase to do our Pre-K students out with who are rising kindergarten and first grade second grade will automatically be in the springboard program it is amazing if their parents on here you can get a testimonial at the end it's rate and if your child is in grade 3 they'll be in Rising 3 for 5 and they're in the excellent classes they they can awesome we're going to do some yoga some mindfulness we have a huge outside space when it's not raining we're going to go because the kids need to learn how to like self-regulate is really good to meditate. the day despite the images like if you type yoga Google search you don't see black and brown people but it originated from us right like doing kemetic yoga really getting kid get in touch with their feelings where they're feeling stuff when they get angry when they get frustrated because it's all of all of us know you seen a change in isolation doesn't do the body at once they get around all the kids again you know they're going to be facing situation dealing with certain things that maybe they didn't have to deal with it and so this will help them to self write it and then dip everyone is going to have 45 minutes of math and Ela a day we'll have lunch lunch will either be in the classroom or if it's raining or along if you've been to the school along the entire building Daddy's cap outside so kids can actually eat outside on my Cadence who have an enrichment block and I'll go later but those enrichment activities are and this is just the skeleton because we're going to add more and then everyone's going to have an hour of Athletics a lot of our kids have not been doing a lot of movement right and so we really want to get the movie and I'll going to what that's going to be like what programs are offering will have snack time in the independent time if you look at 3 to 5 the only difference is that 325 has two different Richmond now one thing I will say how This Could Be Imagined as springboard is broken up into small groups of instructions so it's actually going to be two blocks of 30 minutes one small group and then another smoke springboard is the only aspect of his program and the spring what program is taught by the nurse is teaching a sense so cater to the curriculum is being written by a Master Teachers who taught at Brooklyn branch Independent School in Brooklyn and they are you with the private schools have to Columbia University and so they work there they write curriculum there and so they've written based off of the standards that we use in Merrick Academy their writing curriculum to review concept key Concepts current year and then they're going to get to preview some concepts for the upcoming year right like if your child is in kindergarten sight words that they should know right I think they should be taking you this isn't you know the whole like those I think I can you hold a pencil a lot of things have been happening on the computer right so so those they can write your name identify the letters and stay you let us do you know so those are the things that we want make sure that they have them and then let's take a look at what the next rate is on the literature program will include phonics for the younger kids and for everyone reading and writing and then mathematics is a while Wrightsville the mathematics contest again will be based off of some of the key Concepts from there and introducing concept that they can see in the beginning of next year Merrick Academy is transitioning from being a school that dusting to a steam school and so the summer programming a lot of the people who actually work at Merrick right now as checking who are The Learning Center or by trade they do coding robotic some of them is majoring in engineering biology and Mathematics and so they're acting going to be working with your students will be the people who do this work for living to write so we study that they do they're going to work without students with different themed products along with who is who is enrichment enrichment we're going to be doing robotics coding we have a guard organic gardening sign language drawing and painting is going to be a boy who and there's going to be a girls school clothes pretty brown this is just the beginning with the ball start to find lasting but these are the things that we have in place already what Athletics right now that you will have a basketball program for boys and girls will have a co-ed soccer program and will have flag football I am looking into lacrosse I'm looking into lacrosse program for the summer is not for the summer for the fall I didn't add that it's the cross and golfing but these are the three programs we're going to have right now so every Thursday will be taking a trip these is a list of that we have right now so the right now doing a lot so we go to the park you take the kids to the park and after I park is on Spring if that's okay or Springfield Boulevard is a dead huge feel like a soccer field there's a basketball court and there's a playground really beautiful Park and so we'll have a date with the kids when it's sprinklers eat their food outside play go to the Hall of Science we're going to go to the aquarium the Queen's do the Queens farm and then one of our checking he's a scientist and he's also a magician and we got to experience his magic show magic show so he's going to do every Thursday will have a chance we will be traveling by bus I'm by school bus for those trips and so will work with working out those details the way it works now for the for the busing for school is that there was just one kid to receipt and it's like every other seat will probably have one kid to it what will try and keep the six two or three different thing because I'm still working out those details everything and everything we do we're keeping in mind what is CDC guidelines that brings you to the next by Stacy Stacy Stacy so it's going to be important that you are complete the daily screening form so in your in your in the packet when you go to jambalaya are Sundays always wanted to sell out and in addition to that you can have to do it and you'll do that if we decide move away from the deli screening then they're just going to be one phone that you complete saying that every day you're going to do if you're going to make sure what was trying to trick me about this season right now. allergy season, cold it looks much worse like a stomach virus right like they're all these different think so we'd rather than play it safe if your kid is sick you don't know what it is it's best I can say today is my middle daughter how do you feel then that impacts all the people same time I don't want you to go crazy and every time I kiss sneeze they're like oh my God so we at the people who've been here in the building they're used to it right I would say if you don't know go to the school nurse so you'll provide child with their own face mask but when they come here they also are provided with we have a p p e and all the classes and you'll see that in the video we have child size adult size face mask we make sure that and we pray we've already trained the people who are working here that if a kid sneezes you get a new face right because now doesn't serve this purpose they have we have been washing station kids get the individual face Shields that they the teachers have to say because a lot of times the kids think they wanted and to act like you might have to help us do that and you're getting close and it has a shield around would you see I just see in the video covid testing so we're going to be doing biweekly covid testing right now in the building adult we do bi-weekly we want to make sure that we don't have covid that we're not coming the only time during the school year that we've done covid testing for students as if as if we get a report that either adult or the child had covid and then we will provide free or any kid in that pod in that class and your family what we're going to do for the summer program as we're going to continue to biweekly might change. because if we get a positive covid test we know before we go on a school trip on Thursday because it takes by one day to get the results back and we'll be doing 33% will be test I'm 33% of students and it'll be the mouth swab so it's not the nasal swab let's say you say my child is like doesn't like going the doctors even if it's a mouse while they're going to freak out you can come or you can take your talk to your doctor they don't have to do the test here but we are offering it it is we are covering the cost of it right but we are not going to anyone's child to go in and sit down if they start you know freaking out or anything else like that I know what most kids my five-year-old did it once they do it and they just wiped inside and out there like like that's okay but we can talk if you have any has any on reservations we can talk but it is going to be important that you all sign the waiver so that you're talkin and again if you're saying you want to come you can come or if you want to take it to the doctor the individual student material so whatever materials or resources that we're using students just like they have the money since the students will have their own notebooks that they'll have their own and if your child has a power and they helped power or behavior so if your child doesn't have a spa then that Tara is not working with your child over the summer but I'm making sure that there are people in the building who are trying to work with you if that's the case that you can feel free to email me I'm going to show you the video You're recognized the voice is Miss Miller's voice this is her her oscar-winning day too and what you're seeing right here is the actual air filtration system that is up in each of the class I'm going to play this now welcome to Merrick Academy at Merrick we are committed to providing our students and staff with a stake learning and

decrease the risk of infection in the school our partnership together and we look forward to doing our part where they covid free world so y'all can see why I said it's an oscar-winning performance has really got me Miss Miller and operations team they've got an amazing upgrading the school and they've been working on it since since the summer since last summer to make this a safe place so in the summer each student is going to receive a t-shirt that they can wear when we go on trips and they'll receive a backpack and so the three to five days the blue and then we're going to have a different color for catered to so every Thursday just make sure you have that you have that with you I will say if you are a parent youngest child who may have accident ever in a big ziplock bag a change of clothes with a name on it not the flyest outfit that you have the one you don't and we can keep it in the room because the kids have do have a wash and dry it here but I just handed out my last outfit the other day right so like I have no more extra clothes again so please if you know every once in awhile and there's no one to run to the school to bring them I would suggest packing that for them in the summer so this is what everyone is going to be I want to talk about busting so if your child receives daughter do a blessing right now you'll know it because they received it last year they're receiving it now so usually kids have daughter to a bus thing or kids if it's on their IP you live in alternative maybe a seltzer those are the students who get daughter door but then you have General button and so if you have General busing do the kids bus the bus comes along the Route a picky child summer school you go back you don't have to have any other qualifying I didn't like you before I pee or living in an apple have ignition person she is working to get more information about busing it looks like only. Schools will be provided by General like general education summer and so I'm just looking into the cost to register I'm going to send out a survey to find out how many people that don't have busing actually need it like it is but it's going to be the weather based on those numbers we're going to see what that cost is cuz it's going to cost me for us to pay for busting out of pocket but I'm just letting you know right now if you do need extended so if you do need the day ends at 2:45 and you need your child to stay longer to have childcare there's also Little People which is right up the street and right now little people and they pick up the kids, and they walk them over there so you don't get off work till 5 having them here to 2:45 but they can go right to pick up the kids and they bring them up and there's also and also look there's also a private busing and if you reach out to Miss Clark Miss Clark and give you the information about email in the chat all students must have updated help walk on Stars this is super super import kids have allergies and I know my kids will be have one thing on Monday and if I take him to the doctor something else it is very important that we know what their allergies are if they have all the general thing because it's something happen God forbid we need all the help that he is what we know about the kids why do they have any allergies to Medicine no like we need to have all of that information some of you already have your updated Health form because it tells me to learning something from many of you I don't and I've been having a people how to say hey we don't have an updated on health form on fire while you are not required to submit a help form once once the child is 5 you're not required to I think it's the same distance to not provide the place where your kid is going to be all day with updated health information it it doesn't make that so that is very important.

So my question is I just registered and I got a registration card Nation email so I should be okay like she should have a spot yum dentist on the program right and my next question is I just need to confirm you did say that if you register for the Summer Academy there's no need to register again for you'll just automatically have a space in springboard you're going to automatically have a seat and spring will but you still have to do a separate registration because it's through outside organization even though I'll teachers at sing it so you have to register through them but I'll have a separate parent information session about that and you'll get a separate link to register through that lets me use we can't do the registration for that program was but they'll order Theron K102 Lake for the next few year or in excellence 3 or excellent 5 they will have a seat so I will automatically add them still be or they will take up it so if I have 60 kids that are in Katy to register that means I've already taken of 60 spots in springboard you don't have to worry about securing your spot but you will have to register to Spring I mean yeah to swim what does that make sense yeah that makes sense thank you no problem Nancy Zimmer okay here I am hello hi Hi how are you I'm doing well okay I'm sorry I'm driving and I'm riding in but I want to know about I want to know about kindergarten Justice payments just got accepted to the kindergarten after school and I can't get through the school I'm having trouble I think I put something in wrong and I got a little juice and in the school information Mason is a simple I got school mix let me let me see if I understand what you're saying you're saying basically you put information in school minute the beginning process and so I would say email Miss Clark from email can you look on the phone your phone to see emails and what does she have I'm putting in the chat to make sure that she has your correct information right now let's see we think we lost her will come back let me just continue about to miss Dixon. yes yep I repost the link to register hey so here is the link to register no problem Nathan is Nathan still here Nathan you can amuse yourself you can't hear me can you guys hear me okay someone will take an okay yes you can hear you okay so I'll come back to Nathan April Gomez Barbie question on regarding the form where it says program preference check all that apply my child has an IP or 5:04 while my child is an e l l e n l what up what are those things so that's just to say like that's his letting me know does your child currently have an IEP are there English language Learners student do they have a 504 right and so those are fall under my umbrella so they have a 504 less than 250 for four health conditions I want to know that I want to know you know what's going on I'm going to sit and talk to the nurse to make sure that we have all the updated information so you might have to follow up with the nurse if your child has an IEP and they I'm going to have the the learning specialist reach out to just make sure we have all of the information that we need right and to determine like what type of support likes to be honest I think what sports are going to have over the summer all that information is important now I have everyone else I know who a 504 plan I knew I don't know that so if some of you have I have it meetings coming up right and so you're going to have updated change it now my learning specialist like I just wasn't updated in my data system so I can see it but you know there might be something that is more of a drastic change like that we would want to know I'll make it busing and when does that start so is it if you getting to go to do a bus and when does that start with that make you eligible to have busing this summer or will it will it start in the fall so that's why that information is important but what if she doesn't have either then you don't put any oh I believe it blank. You okay thank you problem no problem okay you stuff yeah good evening, how are you I'm fine how are you yes what happened. It is going into kindergarten I would like addressed in the summer program a question is when I clicked on the link for the jambalaya is just showing me at home page right it's not showing me any warehouse to fill out anything and then you do the registration links that my second question is you mentioned something about little people you know I work night 5 or like everybody else I would like the after-school program is this something you're going to do for the summer program you're talking about next week just to confirm what their after-school program is like for right now we have kids who they get dropped off there early early I can do even if it's early I can do and they'll be other people can be here early do we have to register a little people out cellphone the school is going to be okay, pick up your kid bring them over or I'm sorry the last question is if by any chance we can get into little people and I'm headed to find that after school Center tonight glass I got about a bus picking up and dropping off a day so what's something I said but it's not a Uber ride and you can do private busing to have your child bus from the school to the other sensor that they're going to and some of this someone asked a question about registering I'm taking all of the grade limits off so you can put your kids you have to if you were already registered you're done don't go back and change anything but you can put their current grade and then register I'm just I have to go through each month I did 5th 4th and 3rd I'm doing second first and kindergarten okay so Denise you're next on the queue okay how is he I how are you I'm okay just a quick question so when Abel was in springboard initially when we first did the trial run there was a parent interaction with spring would you have can the parent meeting but I'm not hearing you mention that this go-round so if they're doing springboard in the building for the summer or the parent still doing that parent meeting that they have to do ever springboard springboard is includes a lot of family into action so everything is going to be virtual so even though the kids will be in the building they will have their classes they'll be here the class virtual once a week the parents have a meeting with the teacher where they go over the skill the things that the kids learn and then every Friday the kids have a one-to-one meeting with the teachers do all of those components will be there going to save that but I'm going to do a separate springboard informational session where I go through all those things but thank you for bringing that a springboard is a interactive program that's what makes it so I mean like we outrank who's acrostic because of the way like we've all so we kind of type I desire a tweet that design a bit of the incorporate both like springboard has two separate programs and I kind of combined them together for your child has a small group you'll have to parent workshops with you at 10 but then they also get that one to one time on Fridays with the teacher to work on the individuals and so everything about spring what will be the same it'll just me that your kid some some kids will be in the building but they'll be doing it a computer oh I can't I can't hear you let me see I'm using self again yeah I just asked me cuz I remember that the parent have to come on at some point during the week can meet with the teacher and I didn't know how that was going to work cuz I think it happened to be there with the child but if I'm working and she's there with you guys I'm just trying to understand how that works within the so it'll be it won't all it is going to have to be made right but but but the debt component will still happen Okay alright you I know you got it I don't know I'm like oh my God summer program and I think I'm going to lose my mind no problem okay Melissa is it is it Malaysia Murphy am I saying that right Malaysia Murphy is Malaysia Murphy Lisa Murphy hello how are you it is lost as to what spring is handsome I feel bad because my daughter is going to second grade 7 with springboard is okay but my question is this is the 8:30 start you said yes okay I know they don't have it cuz my daughter stop the bus pick her up or was it the general bus the general bus so that's what I was saying before I said we're still trying to figure it out right now we're hearing all only. those are getting the busing for the summer if they have a summer program not Charter so we're just seeing if that's still true if it is and we are looking into what the cost would be depending on the need of the family we have families along a similar route or whatever it is and we can pay for busing and it's not busting can cost more than the cost of the program then we're going to try and make it work so we're still looking into it. Miss Clark and I've been working on this for a couple of weeks now okay most likely I'll probably just have somebody drop her off but the next thing I wanted to ask the clothing do they wear uniform or anywhere whatever whatever they want unless I call you and say let's talk about this outfit or whatever I will make that call dress by kids I don't play them games no the next thing I wanted to ask some you never got back to me with the email about tonight for I know you said you was on the waiting list for The Learning Center I went back to work on Saturday so I probably need her to go there but you didn't respond back to me and I think me so I can talk to you I thought that was a dog email me this email me again for the top of my email me and Mesmer I will get back this weekend and also I want to find out about the springboard thing so I just I meant the email by the informational session I think this time I actually have some are there some testimonial since we've done this will be our third formation about that but you know my email email me again include Miss Mariah on there okay and if you don't remember that just include me and that I'll have Miss Mariah reach out to you so that we can get everything situated I apologize if you get everything situated for Monday okay and one last thing that I wanted to ask what how soon are you able to see it I can see it I mean if you do I see you guys are like really like I want to know so I will next week I won't wait till the end I'll get I'll get you next week and then I'll send you a lots of what I have so far so if you're if you register and it didn't work we can manually do it on our Savannah said it didn't go through your email me and will and we can manually register it says it says okay thank you email me after that I will I will okay Tenisha Denise is still on oh yes I'm still Play Rihanna wild thoughts. Guy with new questions person supposed to start resume they would be September I noticed he said there would be no snow if you call that special any services that he would have had he would have lost it because he has an IEP he's about to get a new one that would have been my follow-up question where do I send the new report okay send it to me okay so send it to you all in your report I would have waited on the new IP but I have all his other report got a free K1 and now they're going right so he just send it when you don't have feet both the birds so they can all through the year. And yeah I was thinking that maybe I'll just keep him there until September but when does school start this year start in September I know they're working on this Q is working on the calendar that last for the principal she said Slow he just so they're looking at that cuz we try to follow closely to the deal with calendar so one thing they'll be sending it but if you follow the steps text Misty Carson and do you have any dinner idea how much the process for them thank you thank you I have Tire or Tia forever Jeremy's your mom a good A lot of people have at already asked my question so I do have a lot of them answered but I just want to verify I have my little one coming in as a kindergartener he's coming and Rising case I register for kindergarten that's correct Jeremy's in second so I register him for third and that's correct okay it's a tricks are they for all grades meaning specifically for the Rising case coming to the program mail all we going on a trip great and I already sent you Justin is coming in with an IP when I registered him from Eric I sent that to you so do you want me to send it again for this or is that okay you have it you just send it to me again okay that's it everyone else answered everything you answer all my questions thank you thank you all right a resignation Anna you can unmute are you doing where does the Arrows by didn't get a confirmation okay so when I when I do the when I do the list I sent you his name just let me know you can call Miss Mariah and will ask okay you want to go to the roster out next week okay no problem thank you no problem Rashad okay I will Richard are you here case I think he hopped off oh yeah okay you have a question yes I'm alone was answered already so thank you and I apologize if you answer this already but about the health screening for deal with and where do you have to sign in every day to do it as long as thanks for the summer program so what we found it is like pulling all the families and they didn't fill out the health screening is like idiots and attack even though it's simple you just have to click and send it in what we what Miss Miller did was she created a waiver it basically says the things that the daily spending said they would knowledge by signing this that everyday you are checking these things for your time you would not sending your child if they have a fever if they have all of these different symptoms that that covers the entire okay great I had another question is that parents are allowed on trust but have to get colder. Said he's 24 I mean that's the least 24 hours but they're fully like I'm fully back so do I still need to get a covid test on a little trip we will reduce the symptoms right if you get it you'll get it so we're asking that you can either prevent that you you're fully vaccinated I will get back how to speak to Miss Miller I don't want to miss me but I'll get back to you on what our policies going to be for people who willfully that's okay thank you so much Tiffany Kaufman Colston I came in a little late and I just wanted to know what but it's I believe you said the student-to-teacher ratio was 10 for one and for the academic school year what is it the same or will they be saying so no yet it depends right because just like it was 60 in the classroom and the CDC said I think they went down to three three or four feet in the class so we don't know I don't I don't know what it is going to be in September we also know that things so the CDC tells us in terms of the guidelines that what we think makes sense to that stays within those guidelines that's what we're going to do so right now we're 60 departed with six feet apart but if I will know you'll get all the information over the summer once we get more clarity another question do you guys accept students that have 12 121 we do we do if you if you filled out the lottery we have a preference for that so we do have me at 12121 the Garden desert E1 take me to the combined k182 which is my second grade class III is my third grade class 25 wish you could come by fourth and fifth grade class so yes we do okay cuz I'm I might how to beat the third grader he got accepted to you guys school for the academic year but I didn't apply for my son as I'm going into kindergarten because he got accepted into a district 75 schools and I wasn't sure if you guys offer 12121 so it would have applied so we do it's not too late send me the IP let me take a look at it because you know it's cuz there's a difference right so it's like what do we have we have program what can we offer that the district 75 schools can't write is it the same thing as if you know him slightly different so send me that and I'll have Miss Hernandez reach out to you this conversation with you about this is the program yep we think we'll be able to accommodate this or maybe this might be a better setting OK Google okay thank you no problem alright Miss Barbie yet another question hi yeah I'm I'm sorry with all the question but I'm trying to get to it ok Google is saying I guess this is like the last but no I got I got the email confirmation regarding the registration but now it's saying please go out the following forms to complete your order and it's asking me to fill out the health examination form and the Summer Academy on now I just

download the forms If he if I just submitted a medical form for him to enter the learning program do I have to send another medical form for the summer Academy or is that one still valid so that still has inspired by the summertime he did was in August like around the same time that this this Plumbing program will end so he won't be up for another physical until then but the medical form that the
