Throughout the summer, the administration has worked diligently to prepare for our 2020-2021 school year reopening.  Due to the recent new COVID-19 guidelines released by our Governor and Department of Health, our plan has been revised.  While we understand that things are rapidly changing, especially at the state level and then trickling down to the district level, we want to reassure you that we are working diligently to communicate these changes with you so we can all work together to get through these uncertain times. 

At the scheduled Caucus meeting on August 12th, the Board of School Directors voted on doing all on-line instruction (full remote instruction) for the first marking period (until approximately November 9th).  There were many factors that contributed to this decision being made, but the main priority has been and will continue to be what is best for the Weatherly Community to ensure the students and staff's safety as our number one priority.

I would like to take the time to explain our revised reopening full remote instructional plan:

Grades 7th - 12th

• ●Synchronous (live / real-time) learning, taught by WASD teachers, from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM every Monday through Thursday for any student who chose traditional
• ●Fridays will be flexible instructional time with teachers available for office hours (individual help scheduled by appointment)

Grades Pre-K - 6th

• ●Synchronous (live / real-time) learning, taught by WASD teachers,from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM for any student who chose traditional

We recognize that this adjustment may result in some families wanting to choose a different instructional model that offers more flexibility therefore, we are offering WAVE to any family who originally selected the Traditional model.

WAVE

• ●If your child needs a different option, WAVE can provide the flexibility of asynchronous learning (logging in at any time to complete the learning)
• ●Please note that this independent learning option will not be taught by WASD teachers but it is monitored by WASD teachers and additional help can be provided by WASD teachers during regular school hours

If you desire to change your selection to WAVE to provide flexibility in scheduling, we request that you please email Leann Miller at millerl1@weatherlysd.org by August 16th. 

We are disappointed that we are not able to offer a Traditional model at this time; however, our faculty and staff are excited to welcome our students back (virtually) and we continue to be committed to providing a safe and healthy return for our school community.  I respectfully ask you to support our efforts to provide a healthy and safe educational environment for our return.

Respectfully,

Teresa Young

Superintendent of Schools
