Survey Data
• Students must remain in the selected
model of learning until the end of semester
1, at which time we will provide another
survey regarding preference for semester 2.
• Our plan has been created based on data
from families, which is why we cannot allow
families to change the model for their
student while the plan is being
implemented. In the event that a
circumstance arises that requires a change
to a student’s model for learning, it will be
considered.
• If you have any hesitation, move to RLI now.
