Coronavirus Covid-19 Updates
4/29/20 Dear Pegasus Family, Last week Governor Greg Abbott announced that school buildings will remain closed for the rest of this school year. This means that the Pegasus School’s at-home learning is more important than ever. Our teachers and staff are committed to providing lessons and on-line assistance through the balance of our school year. Learning continues as we navigate through this time of the covid virus. Parents and students, thank you for your hard work in making the at-home learning successful. Now and in the future, we are committed to providing our students with a well-rounded education. Parents and students, we encourage you to work on the learning packets and contact your teachers as needed for help. All work should be received by May 22, 2020 in order to count toward a student’s final grades. Teachers will be working to get all work graded and counted in students’ final report cards. In addition to reaching out to your teachers (teachers’ email addresses are included in learning packets), you can also reach out to the campus staff by calling 214-740-9991 or by email at contact@pegasuscharter.org with any questions. Also, we want to remind you that food distribution is available at the upper school located at 601 N. Akard, at the YMCA building every Monday and Thursday from 11 am to 1 pm through May 21, 2020. Completed learning packets may also be dropped off during this time. Remember to follow health and safety procedures laid out by our City of Dallas and Dallas County officials. Stay healthy and safe. We look forward to getting back together soon. 3/23/20 Update on At-Home Learning Today our Pegasus team is making calls to each of our Pegasus Families. We will discuss the best method for you to get school work and to communicate with teachers. Thank you for your patience Stay home and stay safe. Should you need to contact the school, please call 214-740-9991. 3/16/20 Coronavirus School Closing Announcement, March 16, 2020 Pegasus School of Liberal Arts and Sciences will close its school until further notice to help combat the spread of the coronavirus. We do not take this action lightly as we know it can be disruptive to our families. This closure is consistent with recommendations of various state and local authorities to limit large gatherings of individuals. We hope this action will help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. We do not know when the school will reopen but we will continue to monitor the rapidly changing coronavirus pandemic and keep you posted on any changes to this closure. While our classrooms may be empty, we will continue our mission to educate our students through at-home learning. We realize everyone is on spring break this week. Beginning the week of March 23, 2020, we will reach out to all our families with more information on our at-home learning strategies. Thank you for your continued support. |
