Warren Consolidated Schools issued the following announcement on Dec. 17.
Dear WCS Community,
As our holiday break approaches, I wanted to share some important information with you about our plans after the New Year.
January 2021 -
As we plan for implementing a hybrid option on January 25, 2021, or possibly a later date, depending on the spread of the virus, we need to confirm the survey choice you made previously regarding an in-person hybrid option or the option to remain at home in remote learning. As schedules, particularly for grades 6-12, need to be ready for the first day of the second semester and must remain that way for the balance of the school year, we will need you to confirm your selection for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year by January 4, 2021. In the coming days, you will receive a communication directly from your child’s school that:
Identifies the previous choice you made that we have on file (remote or in-person hybrid).
Provides you instructions if you want to change your selection prior to January 4, 2021.
If your survey choice remains unchanged from earlier this year, no further action on your part is necessary, and you can direct any questions to your child’s school.
Also, as I reported previously, separate from this information, we still plan to evaluate the return of special education students during the week of January 4, 2021.
COVID Case Update -
This week, we had the following positive cases of COVID-19 reported among staff members in the district.
- 1 at the Educational Service Center
- 1 at Warren Mott High School
- 1 at Wilkerson Elementary School
All staff affected have been notified, and all areas of the schools have been appropriately cleaned.
Also, the latest state health department order is set to expire on December 20, 2020, and if there are any changes that affect our district, I will keep you updated. The arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine is a very positive step toward returning to normal. The difficulty is knowing when it will become widely available for our students, staff, and families. In the meantime, I encourage you to continue to follow the health department guidelines for wearing a mask, social distancing, and keeping safe.
Finally, my positive case updates through these letters and robo-calls will resume the week of January 4, 2021. On behalf of the WCS Board of Education, I wish you a happy holiday! Please continue to stay safe and be healthy.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Livernois, Ph.D.
Superintendent
