Funded by an EllisCARES grant, First Presbyterian Church, 2900 Hall St., Hays, is offering a safe, supervised and distanced alternative for remote/hybrid learning to all middle and high school students enrolled in the Ellis County school districts.
The free program will run from October 5- December 14, 2020.
We know that districts, teachers, students and families are facing unprecedented challenges.
We hope that this option helps relieve lack of access to adequate internet, social isolation and family stress with students home alone for those who are using hybrid or remote learning options.
The remote learning staff will providing instructional support, encouragement, and maintain health and safety guidelines.
The building is fully accessible on one level with a dedicated entrance and dedicated restrooms.
The Wi-Fi-enabled hall will accommodate up to 20 preregistered middle and high school students in 3 ½ hour blocks.
There will be separate morning and afternoon groups Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.-3:00pm. If there is a need, hours can be expanded to include some evenings and weekends.
Attendance will be recorded. Masks will be required for all inside the building. Distanced seating will be assigned. A full kitchen is on site for storing lunch and snacks brought by the students.
