NEW ORLEANS — In Jefferson Parish, those high school students who have been doing hybrid learning will soon make the switch back to in-person learning.
This is in response, to the positivity rates of COVID-19 decreasing across the parish.
Starting Monday, March 29, grades 9 and 12 will return to in-person learning five days a week, and beginning on Wednesday, March 31, grades 10 and 11 will return.
Virtual learning will still be an option, but those hybrid students must decide between 100-percent virtual or 100-percent in-person.
“As stated in Start Strong Jefferson, our goal all along has been to safely prioritize in-person learning,” said Dr. James Gray, Superintendent of JP Schools. “We know the majority of our students learn best from in-person instruction. Bringing students back to campus five days a week is the best way to close any knowledge gaps and ensure all students progress.”
