IDEA Hidden Meadow
Nest News 7.17.2020
Message from the principals
Hawk families,
We know everyone has been eager to learn more about the start of the school year and we are glad to be able to share some updated information. In following the latest guidelines from Bexar County, the CDC, and the Texas Education Agency, we will begin the school year virtually on August 11th. It is currently unclear how long we will be in virtual distance learning because these decisions are informed by the aforementioned agencies. What we do know is that our virtual start will likely last a minimum of three weeks and may go longer. As we learn more, know that we will remain transparent with how we will launch into the 2020-21 school year together.
We invite you to join us for both Hidden Meadow’s Family Town Hall on Tuesday, July 21st from 12pm or 5:30pm at https://bluejeans.com/u/gabriel.demiero/ and IDEA’s Family Town Hall on Wednesday at 6:30 pm on facebook live. In order to best prepare and anticipate questions from families, please enter questions ahead of time at https://shorturl.at/ejkGM.
Lastly, we are eager to see all scholars and families at our Culture Camp on July 30th and 31st! To accommodate working families and families with scholars in different grade levels, we have two different time options. Culture Camp is a critical part of the onboarding process where scholars and families will get to know their teachers, other scholars, and learn critical tenets of what it will take to have a successful partnership once the school year starts.
For both the Town Hall and Culture Camp, please see more details below.
