COVID-19 Update:

Dear students, volunteers, staff, and community members,
I want to take a moment to provide you with the latest update on our response at the Latino Academy to help ensure the safety of our students, staff, volunteers, and the community.

• Face-to-face classes/trainings at the Latino Academy  will be cancelled for the rest of the spring semester. Classes will be offered to all of our students through VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS (using the Zoom/Webex applications) Facebook groups and phone calls. VIRTUAL CLASSES start the week of March 30. NOTE: Students will also have the opportunity to call-in into the virtual classroom. Students are being contacted to make sure they have the information about these classes. If you have not yet been contacted please send us a message via facebook or leave a message at 608 310-4573.
  

• We understand that not all of our students will be able to access the VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS. Latino Academy will work with these students to make sure they complete the Spring semester. Instructors will craft weekly lesson plans using textbooks and share additional assignments during the weekly check-in call with these students. Assignments will be mailed to students to make sure they complete the semester.
• The following is a list of the classes that will have a virtual classroom: 
  Pre-GED classes, GED classes. 
  ESL Levels 1, 2, 3, ESL for Health Careers, ESL for Skilled Trades.
  Computer Keyboarding Class, Excel Class.
  CDL Class B/A permit, ServSafe Food Management Class.
  

Latino Academy’s staff continues working remotely from home and continues providing academic case management and employment placement support via phone, and through video calls.
We continue to closely monitor information from our public health officials and will update you as new information becomes available.

In Unity,
