Community Q&A Follow-up, August 22, 2020
Dear Parents,
Thank you again for your participation in our Q and A session on Thursday
evening. If you would like to listen to the entire meeting, please see the link
below.
8/20/2020 Q& A Session
Dionne presented aspects of the updated guidelines from the Department of
Education and the Early Learning Division regarding reopening. See the new and
improved format for the metrics indicating the times for distance learning, hybrid
learning, and complete return to campus (be sure to select Multnomah/Clackamas County in the left corner drop-down. Our metrics must be met within both Counties):
More information about school protocols during the pandemic will be shared
before school begins and again when we are ready for the hybrid part of our
school year.
Learning Models for 2020-21
Questions arose at the Thursday meeting regarding options for school programs.
We apologize for any confusion caused by our own internal gaps in communication. The Leadership Team is working closely with our teachers and administrative staff members to close this gap. We are grateful for your patience during this transition period.
There are two options for the coming year: our program for fully enrolled
students (which includes the distance learning and hybrid models depending on
what the metrics allow) and the modified remote option for families who are not
enrolling at this time but want to stay connected with their class and class
teacher.
In the document above you will see a chart showing the fully enrolled program.
Tuition and fees for your enrollment are listed on the website and on your
financial contract. You will also see a chart showing the modified remote option, including the fee.
If you have questions about your financial contract for your enrolled student(s) please contact Crystal Lawrence.
Finally, to close this week’s communication we ask you to SAVE THE DATE for the
PWS Welcome Assembly on Tuesday, September 1 from 6:30-7:30pm. The zoom
link will be emailed closer to the date.
There is much anticipation and excitement as the teachers and administrative
staff members prepare for the students’ return to a new and very different school
year.
As always, please contact us if you have any questions.
With much appreciation,
Shanti McCarter, Connie Stokes, Elizabeth Webber
Leadership Team
