Covid recovery plan
Cristo Rey is prioritizing academic time for students to meet with teachers & find additional support within the building. Students have access to teachers & tutors during office hours, as well as tutors outside the school building. Cristo Rey shifted to a block schedule that allows students more in-person time with teachers, minimizing transitions between classes.
