Hood River County School District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn has sent a letter to parents outlining a framework for starting school in September, including an option for students to use a completely on-line instruction model aligned with the Hood River Options Academy.  The other option would involve on-site learning that would probably start with a hybrid of in-classroom and on-line learning with the ability to go to full distance learning on a short-term basis if necessary.  Polkinghorn says in upcoming weeks the district will present parents with details about how and when families can make their choice.  Online forums are planned in English on July 28 and 29, and in Spanish this coming Thursday and July 30.  Times and details will be available, along with the information Polkinghorn sent to parents, at the district’s website at hoodriver.k12.or.us.
