What will the Fall of 2020 look like?
Preschool and extended care programs are licensed under the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF). This means they fall under separate guidelines than K-12 schools. We are waiting for those updated guidelines and expect to share that information with preschool families soon. 
1. Academics and instruction
  • 360 degree cameras/microphones in classrooms to allow for live classroom instruction and interaction within a variety of circumstances
  • New curricular subscriptions to allow for fluidity in instructional delivery methods and needs
  • Creation of flexible schedules dependent on classroom capacity directives (full time vs. alternating days, etc....)
  • Additional extended care opportunities to accommodate for any changes to maximum classroom capacity and schedule modifications
  • Increased availability of student-use devices
  • Increased mobility of specialist and MS teachers in order to limit student travel throughout building
  • Increased access to Social Emotional Learning resources to help staff and parents address increased anxiety in our students
