On January 18th, 2021 will be a staff development day with no students. Grades 5 and 6 will come back in person on the 19th, with hybrid learning for high school students to include Wednesdays on a new hybrid schedule. See enclosure. We do plan to bring all High School students back later. If your student is struggling, please call the District and we can make some arrangements.
The Safe Learning Plan for the 2020-21 School Year has been updated, so starting on January 19th, 2021, every elementary school across the state will begin bringing students back into an in-person learning model without needing to consult their Regional Support Team, as long as they are able to implement all updated health and safety measures in the Safe Learning Plan. Middle and high schools will continue to use the original process for determining their learning models and must also implement additional health and safety measures if they are providing in-person or hybrid learning.
Sports will be starting competition on Thursday, January 14th with a Boys Basketball game. Following the MSHSL rules of return to play, WEM will always require masking of everyone in the building. Following the Social Distancing Guidelines, we will allow 2 tickets per athlete and cheerleader, for spectators.
- Spectators must always wear masks and observe social distancing
- DO NOT come to the game if you are ill or experiencing symptoms
- Each pod can be up to 2 people if they sit together (Household units)
All games will be broadcasted on GV TV or radio. We will follow the same guidelines as volleyball for seating and leaving the gym once your child has played. Parents can stay for their child’s play and will need to leave after the event. This may change as the season moves on. There will be no concessions.
For away games, we encourage our parents to transport your athlete to the game, so the bus is not crowded or the threat of a positive case.
Thank you for your assistance.
**A new 2020/2021 calendar is enclosed with the addition of 2 staff days, February 26 and May 3 for staff development days, with no students present.
