At the beginning of this school year, and In accommodation to safety, students were offered three educational paths.
- Students could attend school in person Monday through Thursday
- Students could pick up a hard copy of educational content and study guides. They work on these packets at home and return completed packets for grading
- Students could learn remotely through Dohn’s Virtual Academy.
As we near winter 2020, Dohn has an enrollment of 1053 students. Here are the numbers for each of those learning paths:
- 106 students have chosen online learning through Dohn Virtual Academy
- 234 students have chosen packet pick-up
- 713 students have chosen in-person learning
Temperatures are checked when people enter one of Dohn’s locations, and everyone wears a mask. The six-foot rule for maintaining distance is observed, and frequent hand-washing is enforced. A deep-cleaning occurs on Fridays when all locations are closed to staff and students.
