The
past several weeks have been very difficult for families and communities across
our district and nation. Many
individuals are concerned for family members’ health, have experienced loss of
employment, or simply feel uncertain and anxious during this difficult time.
Schools,
too, are navigating new and unchartered territory as we must quickly and
efficiently shift our educational program from the classroom setting to our
students’ homes so that learning may continue in some fashion. This is not an easy or simple shift, and it
requires much understanding, flexibility, coordination, and creativity.
With
that said, I could not be more proud of our entire school community as
teachers, students, and families for showing support for each other and for
having a positive outlook during this challenging situation. During these initial weeks of ending the
third marking period and engaging in enrichment and remediation activities, our
district has come together to continue our mission of teaching and learning.
Beginning
Monday, April 6, the WPSD will begin our remote learning plan. This Continuity of Education plan can be
accessed on the school district website or WPSD CoE Plan. This plan will offer students a combination
of new instruction, enrichment, and remediation.
The
WPSD has created a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on the website that
focuses on the Continuity of Education plan.
This document will be continually updated throughout the length of the
plan.
We
are incredibly proud of what our entire staff has done to make the very best
out of a difficult situation. We will
continue to do great things at West Perry as we work together to implement our
Continuity of Education plan. Thank you
for all the support you have shown during these past few weeks.
