Blockson Middle School will be operating on a 2 hour delay VIRTUAL schedule tomorrow, 11/11/2024. Please see the schedule attached. Google meet codes will be posted in teacher schoology pages.
Dear Blockson Families and learners,
Our District Operations team has identified a plumbing problem at Blockson Middle School that requires immediate attention. We have been informed that the necessary repairs will not be completed until sometime on Monday. Unfortunately, we are not able to hold in-person operations at Blockson until the repairs are completed.
Therefore, Blockson Middle School students WILL NOT report to school on Monday, November 11, 2024. All students will participate virtually on Monday, with live, synchronous teaching and learning provided. Only Blockson Middle School will have a virtual day, as no other district buildings are affected.
To allow teachers time to adjust for virtual instruction on Monday, students will follow a two hour delay schedule. Our teachers will share the link for their classes with the students. Please click the link below for the daily schedule. Attendance will be taken during each period.
We appreciate your patience, grace, and understanding as we navigate this unanticipated situation.
We will provide updates on Monday if we anticipate disruption to in-person instruction for Tuesday.

If you have any questions, please email your learner’s teacher.
Sincerely,
Dr.Lugo
Principal
