==Homebase Learning Schedules (HLS)==
In the event we have a full school closure we have established a set of system to help our students join classes remotely.Β  This [[Help_my_lower_school_child_with_remote_learning|detailed help article]] will provide you with instructions on how to assist your child if this were to be the case.
The homebase learning schedule is a digitized version of our daily in-school schedule. If a situation presented itself where the entire Lower School would need to go remote, the teachers who support those classes will work with students via the Zoom links on this schedule. We ask that students attend all sessions homebase and special area sessions. At all other times, the Zoom meetings associated with the homebase learning schedules will not be active as teachers will be working with cohorts on campus.
