Families, to request hybrid in-person learning, see the message from your child’s principal or go to your child’s school website for the online form bcps.org/schools * If you would like your child to continue full virtual instruction, you do not need to do anything.

(1/3) Our focus today and for Monday and Tuesday is identifying and addressing student and staff device needs so that instruction can continue. We now know that BCPS-issued Chromebooks were not impacted by the cyber attack.
