In January, PRUSD staff had the opportunity to receive the first shot of the COVID-19 vaccination. February 17th is the scheduled date for the second shot for our staff. Reports have concluded that more people have a reaction to the second shot than the first which could keep them out of school. For this reason, we are moving instruction on February 18th and 19th to distance learning. Teaching and learning will be via distance learning on those two days. We will resume back to the regular hybrid schedule on February 22nd. We hope that this is one more step that our staff has taken to get all students back on our campuses.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.
