Hybrid eLearning Day on Monday, Nov. 18
This Monday, November 18, 2019, is a unique day of school. We are calling it a hybrid eLearning day. Some students will be conducting eLearning at home while other students will arrive at school to focus on an ISTEP Fall testing session.
If your student is required to come to Scecina on November 18 for testing, you will receive individual communications. If you do not receive a letter in the mail discussing testing from Scecina and your student has not been contacted by our academic counselors, then your student will have an eLearning day on Monday, November 18.
Students who are testing will not have any eLearning work to complete.
