WSVSD Family Update
Our district has received approval from our local health department to start the process of transitioning our students into an in-person hybrid model. The district also received approval at our October School Board Meeting to start the hybrid transition as follows:
Hybrid Reopening Dates
- November 16, grades K-1 and grade 4
- November 30, grades 2-3 and grades 5-6
- December 7, grades 7-8 and grades 9-12
It is important to know that these reopening days are target dates and can be impacted by changes in our county COVID numbers and health department recommendations.
Families will still have the option to remain fully online.
School Day
In the hybrid model each student will be assigned to the A Day group or the B Day group. We have identified students that share an address across the district as a family unit who would attend on the same day. Cohort assignments will be shared by building principals.
- A Day students will attend school in-person on Monday and Tuesday
- B Day students will attend school in-person on Wednesday and Thursday.
Students will be at school in-person from about 8:15 to 12:30 with distance learning activities in the afternoon. Students will continue distance learning the other three days the week.
Drop-off and pick-up times and procedures will be shared by November 9th.
Community Forum
The district will host Zoom sessions in both Spanish and English to provide families more detailed information about the Hybrid Reopening plans and answer family questions. The sessions will be recorded and available on our website.
