Intent to Return for 2021/2022 School Year (First Day of School is August 9, 2021)
As we prepare for the new school year, with the first day of school on August 9, 2021, we anticipate a full return to traditional in-person instruction with adherence to all safety and health protocols. To finalize student schedules with course selection and staffing needs, we are requesting all parents indicate whether their child will return to school for full in-person instruction or require a virtual learning option.
Please review the information (video message and FAQ) regarding 2021/2022 Return to In-Person Instruction.
You will commit to one of the instructional models for the Intent to Return for 2021/2022.
Option 1: In-person instruction: This traditional model is designed for students coming to school on campus. Instruction will be provided by classroom teachers. Students will attend the full day every day (5 days per week subject to change based on capacity limitations due to adequate spacing of students), for example, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., which includes break time and lunchtime. The in-person instruction will be like the traditional instructional model where the teachers are teaching in-person students, different from the Spring 2021 hybrid model. At any time Public Health directs closure of a classroom or the entire school due to COVID-19 exposure, students and teachers will revert to the Distance Learning model for a temporary time.
Option 2: Virtual Learning: Virtual Learning will only offer core courses and a limited number of electives. This model is for students who will commit to online learning for the entire school year. Students will be assigned to teachers through an online program. They will be required to log in daily and complete work during the school day in addition to assigned work by online teachers.
By signing up for Virtual Learning, parents are fully aware of the following:
*Students are committing to online learning for the 2021/2022 school year
*Core courses and a limited number of electives will be offered
*Students log in daily and complete work during the school day
*Students are taught by WVUSD teachers
*There is no guarantee that virtual learning students will stay assigned to the current school for students who choose virtual learning.
If you have additional questions, please email the district through Let’s Talk.
On AERIES Parent Portal, please indicate whether your child will attend school in-person or join the virtual learning for the 2021/2022 school year by Wednesday, April 14, 2021.
A response is required for your child to be successfully counted towards enrollment for the 2021/2022 school year (the first day of school is August 9, 2021).
