Many of you have already heard today's news that Baltimore City Public Schools are moving towards a limited re-opening of in-person instruction for some groups of students.

We do not yet know Creative City’s re-opening timeline within this plan.  We are placing extremely high priority on opening Creative City for some students as soon as we are safely able, while placing equally high priority on the health and safety of our staff, our students, and their families.  

We are actively discussing our readiness towards opening with the school district to determine the appropriate timeline for our school community.  We are also speaking with our staff.  Any return to in-person schooling at Creative City this fall would be voluntary and limited for both staff and families.  We will keep you posted on when we expect limited re-opening to begin at Creative City.

To read a longer message about the path to re-opening for in-person learning, view our letter to families.

Just a quick note!  Did you miss the session we had at Back to School Night about setting up your parent account in OTUS?  No worries - watch a recording here!
