Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year

  • This webpage provides information about WSSD's plans for reopening as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to provide a learning environment that supports our students, staff, and families with health and safety as our top priority.
     
    After a busy summer of planning and preparations by our administrators and teachers, we welcomed our students back to school on Monday, August 31st, virtually.
     
    At their September 21st special meeting, the WSSD School Board approved a phased approach to hybrid learning, with cohorts of students returning, as per the following timeline:
     
    • All Students in Grades K-2 - Thursday, October 1 
       
    • All Students in Grades 3-5 - Monday, October 5
       
    • Students in Grades 6-12 identified for the complex needs cohort* - Monday, October 5
       
    • Students in Grades 6-8 - Monday, October 12
       
    • Students in Grades 9-12 - Monday, October 12

    *NOTE:  Special education case managers will communicate directly with the parents of those students identified for the complex needs cohort. 

     
    For more information, please look through the headings in these Reopening pages, check out the revised Education Plan under Educational Informational, and read through the updated FAQs section. Please also see the individual home pages of each school for the latest updates.
