Good afternoon, SLLIS! We wanted to share an update on recent technical challenges. Changing class and staffing schedules can be highly disruptive, so before attempting a huge schedule change for virtual and in-school learners to improve wifi connectivity, we tried over a dozen strategies to address the technical issue. Unfortunately, these strategies made little difference in solving the problem. Next week we plan to finalize changes to Virtual Academy and In-School Learning schedules that will allow all SLLIS students to have a much improved learning experience. We will be in touch with details about these changes early next week!
