Rochester Charter School Expands In-Person Learning to Serve More

Virtual learning has been tough on families across the region. In fact, a recent poll shows that almost 1 in 5 parents are disengaged entirely.

That’s why the Eugenio María de Hostos Charter School is working to expand how many students can be accepted for in-person learning. By spacing students across its three campuses, Executive Director Miriam Vazquez said they’re exploring ways to bring in new students who want to learn in the classroom. They just want to make sure the community is interested:

“Not every family is able to make virtual learning work and so a lot of students simply aren’t getting the instruction and resources they need. At EMHCS we believe that children are successful when we provide for their academic, social-emotional, creative needs and support families. EMHCS will open 2 additional in-person learning classrooms for grades Kindergarten and second grade contingent on receiving enough applications to make it fiscally possible. We also have some limited seats available in grades 1 and 3-5.”
