The Friends Program Calendar
THE FRIENDS PROGRAM IS ON A TEMPORARY BREAK DUE TO THE CHALLENGE OF STAYING ENGAGED IN A VIRTUAL PROGRAM AFTER BEING AT SCHOOL ONLINE. WE EXPECT TO BEGIN AGAIN IN THE SUMMER OF 2021.
The Fall Programs (September, 2020 through May, 2021)
The Friends Groups
The 3rd -5th Grade Group and The Middle School Group begin on Tuesday, September 15, 2020. We will meet weekly through the school year with vacations running concurrently with the Palo Alto School District Schedule. There may be changes due to the variations in Winter Break and Spring Break dates.
As clarified in the Nuts and Bolts page a parent or parents are required to be present at each virtual session to participate in the group.
The K–2nd Grade Group will not meet this fall due to COVID-19. We feel that the younger children will have a hard time staying engaged via the online curriculum we are using for health and safety reasons.
