Printable Version of the Letter about Changes in Secondary School Calendar
November 6, 2020
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the holidays with different breaks in the school calendar, we want to maximize the face-to-face opportunities for our students whether they are in-person or fully remote. If we follow the existing calendar as it is there would be long periods of time around Thanksgiving and December holiday breaks where one group of students would not have direct face-to-face contact with their teachers for twelve or more days. With that said, we are going to adjust our schedule for the following dates:
Monday, November 23rd
- WGMS/CMS Group A (MON-TUE) will attend in-person on Monday only and remotely on Tuesday
- WGHS Grades 9 &10 (MON-TUE) will attend in-person on Monday only and remotely on Tuesday
Tuesday, November 24th
- WGMS/CMS Group B (THU-FRI) will attend in-person on Tuesday and remotely on Monday
- WGHS Grades 11 &12 (THU-FRI) will attend in-person Tuesday and remotely on Monday
Monday, December 21st
- WGMS/CMS Group A (MON-TUE) will attend in-person Monday only and remotely on Tuesday
- WGHS Grades 9 &10 will attend in-person Monday only and remotely on Tuesday
Tuesday, December 22nd
- WGMS/CMS Group B (THU-FRI) will attend in-person on Tuesday and remotely on Monday
- WGHS Grades 11 &12 (THU-FRI) will attend in-person on Tuesday and remotely on Monday
Transportation will accommodate the shift in days for all families that chose school transportation. We are asking that families who selected self-transport for students to plan ahead and try to make the necessary changes to your schedules in advance. Please contact your building principal directly if you will not be able to adjust to the change in schedule for your child’s attendance.
Please be aware that a deep cleaning between groups of students will take place.
Sincerely,
Stephen R. Dunham
Director of Secondary Education
