Hello, SLLIS! Unfortunately, we are still experiencing internet outages in the downtown area, including the SLLIS building. We have been working diligently to resolve the issue with our internet provider. We apologize for this disruption in learning. Live teacher-led Target Language instruction is cancelled for this afternoon, Thursday, August 27. We will soon post a list of independent learning resources on our website, including resources for Target Language Practice. Teachers will also attempt to put this list of resources onto their Google Classrooms. We thank you for your patience and understanding! Please email info@sllis.org if you have any questions.

Our In-School Learners and Teachers had a great first week! We wanted to share a few reminders to help keep our school community safe. If your student has symptoms of COVID-19, please keep them home from school for 24 hours or until symptoms resolve. If there is a known case of COVID-19 in your household, notify SLLIS immediately and keep your student at home. Students who may need to quarantine will be able to continue learning virtually until they can safely return to school. Thank you, and have a great weekend!
¡Nuestros estudiantes y maestros en la escuela tuvieron una gran primera semana! Queríamos compartir algunos recordatorios para ayudar a mantener segura nuestra comunidad escolar. Si su estudiante tiene síntomas de COVID-19, manténgalo en casa y no vaya a la escuela durante 24 horas o hasta que los síntomas se resuelvan. Si hay un caso conocido de COVID-19 en su hogar, notifique a SLLIS inmediatamente y mantenga a su estudiante en casa. Los estudiantes que necesiten ser puestos en cuarentena podrán continuar aprendiendo virtualmente hasta que puedan regresar a la escuela de manera segura. ¡Gracias y tenga un gran fin de semana!

Hello, SLLIS! We want to make you aware of a few changes to start dates for the 2020 Fall Trimester: In-School Learning will continue as planned on August 10 for Kindergarten and August 11 for grades 1-8. Many of our families are counting on this, and SLLIS is prepared. On-site learners will spend August 10-14 learning new health and safety routines and procedures. Virtual Learning will begin on August 17. This allows SLLIS time to train our virtual team to ensure that virtual instruction is high-quality and as effective as possible, and it gives SLLIS time to distribute devices for virtual learners. Because on-site learners will spend the first few days learning routines and safety procedures, virtual learners will not miss out on any days of academic instruction and the learning schedules will remain aligned. Pre-Kindergarten will begin on August 24. The STL Pre-K Cooperative is finalizing licensing measures necessary for running a separate program within SLLIS's building. If you have any questions regarding these changes, please email reopening@sllis.org. We look forward to teaching all of our students again soon!
