Dear Families:
We hope that you had a safe and restful Thanksgiving Break! Our most up to date parent email is linked here. Please review the following information:
In order to ensure that we maximize the health and safety of the entire YES Prep community when we return, we have decided that Monday, November 30th will be a fully virtual, synchronous day. This will give YES Prep staff the time necessary to assess the potential impacts of the holiday on our ability to safely reopen campuses after break. We would like parents to help with the following:
• Make sure that your student is logging onto his/her classes virtually on Monday, Nov. 30th.
• Please have your student complete the Student Daily Health Check on Monday, Nov. 30th even though they are not coming to campus.
• Please ask your student to be honest while filling out the health check and to be responsive to any Brays Oaks staff that reaches out to them on Monday, Nov. 30th.
Our wish is that there are no Covid-19 cases brought on to campus when we return on Tuesday, Dec. 1st, but we need all staff and students to be honest and truthful on their Daily Health Checks to help minimize that risk.

Queridas familias:
¡Esperamos que haya tenido un descanso de Acción de Gracias seguro y reparador! Nuestro correo electrónico para padres más actualizado está vinculado aquí. Revise la siguiente información:
Para asegurarnos de maximizar la salud y seguridad de toda la comunidad de YES Prep cuando regresemos, hemos decidido que el lunes 30 de noviembre será un día sincrónico y totalmente virtual. Esto le dará al personal de YES Prep el tiempo necesario para evaluar los impactos potenciales de las vacaciones en nuestra capacidad para reabrir los campus de manera segura después de las vacaciones. Nos gustaría que los padres ayudaran con lo siguiente:
- Asegúrese de que su estudiante ingrese a sus clases virtualmente el lunes 30 de noviembre.
- Por favor, pídale a su estudiante que complete el Examen de salud diario del estudiante el lunes 30 de noviembre, aunque no venga al campus.
- Por favor, pídale a su estudiante que sea honesto al completar el chequeo médico y que responda a cualquier personal de Brays Oaks que se comunique con ellos el lunes 30 de noviembre.
Nuestro deseo es que no se lleven casos de Covid-19 al campus cuando regresemos el martes 1 de diciembre, pero necesitamos que todo el personal y los estudiantes sean honestos y veraces en sus Cheques de Salud Diarios para ayudar a minimizar ese riesgo.
