Hybrid Information and Survey

Hello Washington families! We are excited to provide the opportunity for more students to begin the process of returning to on-site learning. We fully realize that this is a HUGE decision for all families and wanted to give you all as much information as possible to help guide your decision on whether your student(s) will return to the building in our hybrid model or continue with 100% remote learning. After reviewing the following information, please complete the survey to let us know what model you choose: 100% Remote Only, Hybrid - Cohort A, or Hybrid - Cohort B by clicking the survey here.Opening in a new window

As you read through this document here are some important items to consider:

• ALL WMS students, regardless of model chosen, will attend the morning class sessions remotely for the remainder of this school year. In-person learning will take place in the afternoons with either Cohort A or Cohort B attending, which may include new learning, academic support and/or social-emotional learning.
• Beginning on Monday, March 15th, all 6th-grade students that choose 100% Remote Only, all 7th-grade students, and all 8th-grade students will follow the 100% Remote Only class schedule. 6th-grade students that choose Cohort A or Cohort B will follow the Cohort A or Cohort B schedule.
• Teachers will utilize Wednesdays to ensure that remote-only students have access to any instruction or support that was provided during Cohort A and B in-person times on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons.

Note from the health room

If you have received notification from our nurse, Connie Bloom, that your student’s vaccinations are out of compliance, please follow-up with her at cbloom@osd.wednet.edu. She can assist if you need help obtaining the vaccines. All students are required to be in full compliance to attend school in person.

Lunch

Due to secondary students attending in-person for afternoons only, all grab-and-go breakfasts/lunches will be distributed as students leave for the day, to be eaten at home the following day. Also, our existing meal sites will be in operation for students and families to pick up meals on days they are not attending or who are in 100% remote learning. There is no cost for student meals this school year.
