PARENTS JUGGLING KIDS’ K-12 OPTIONS
Ann Arbor Public Schools will be fully virtual in the fall and many neighboring schools are still finalizing options. We know this fall is going to be a challenge for parents. The College will be as flexible as possible with schedules as we all figure this out together.
Please work closely with your supervisor to discuss your concerns. If you find you are in a situation that requires special assistance, please reach out to the College’s Human Resources department for guidance.
