Dear Parents and Community,
The district has designated Distance Learning Days from August 10-20 for all students registered for the Face to Face or [email protected] instructional model. These nine days will provide opportunities for all staff and students to become comfortable with the LaunchED model as it will be our default should we need to pivot from Face to Face during the pandemic.
August 21st will still be the first day that students in the Face to Face model report to their campus, having already completed nine days virtually.
All students, whether [email protected] or Face to Face will be picking up a device and resources for the first 9 days of instruction. The schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, August 5th 9:00 - 11:00 or 11:30 - 1:30 4th and 5th in the bus loop
Wednesday, August 5th 9:00 - 11:00 or 11:30 - 1:30 2nd and 3rd in the car loop
Thursday, August 6th 9:00 - 11:00 or 11:30 - 1:30 Kdg and 1st in the bus loop
We will not be able to have an in person Meet Your Teacher Event on campus this year. Teachers will be reaching out to their individual students by Friday, August 7th introducing themselves and welcoming their students to their class. They will also provide directions of how the first day of instruction will start on Monday, August 10th. If you have not provided a working email at the time of registration or your phone information has changed, please contact the school office on Monday between 7:30-4:00 to provide the update.
I know these are unprecedented and difficult times we are all navigating. As we kick off the 2020-21 school year at Windermere Elementary, I want to assure you that our teachers and staff are working tirelessly to be ready to keep our students safe and provide the best instruction possible, whether Face to Face or using the LaunchED model. We appreciate your trust and support with your child’s education.
