Hybrid Model Recommended For Maple Grove Schools This Fall

MAPLE GROVE, MN — At Tuesday's special board meeting, Ossea Area Schools Superintendent Cory McIntyre is set to recommend the hybrid model of education for this fall for all grades.

"This recommendation aligns with Hennepin County data about virus activity and guidance from the state health and education departments," McIntyre wrote in a letter to parents.

"I know you desire as much information as possible, so I will continue to update you as our plans evolve. For now, I want you to know that my intention is to start school in the hybrid model."

Families who prefer a 100 percent distance learning option can sign up for the optional Distance Learning Academy by 9 p.m. on Aug. 9.

Families in need of transportation are asked to fill out the transportation request form (grades 9-12 only) by 9 p.m. on Aug. 9.
