News From Columbus City Schools' Superintendent - "Wellness Week"
Dear CCS Community,
...
I am declaring the week of Thanksgiving as "Wellness Week" in Columbus City Schools. Monday, November 22, and Tuesday, November 23, will be asynchronous remote learning days for all students. Teachers will assign independent work to be due after the Thanksgiving break, but there will be no in-person or synchronous remote learning that week.
Most of our district operations will be closed for the entire week to give the majority of our workforce time off. Our schools are already closed that Wednesday through Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday, so this adjustment gives our teachers, principals, staff, and students a whole week off to reset and recharge.
This school year has been challenging as we transitioned back to five days a week of in-person learning for the first time in 18 months, not to mention the national shortage of bus drivers, security threats, and the continuing pandemic.
I recognize that our schools need a break. Our teachers, principals, and nurses are exhausted, our classified staff is stretched thin, and our students are drained.
Of the many lessons we have learned during the pandemic, we know that mental health is essential. That's what this decision is about, to prioritize the mental well-being of our district community so we can come back ready to meet all of the challenges in front of us head-on.
Our Families
I understand that transitioning to remote learning for two days during that week could be a hardship for some of our families. Still, I believe this decision is a necessary step as I consider the state of our district community.
I wanted to let you know now so that you could reasonably plan. We will be following up soon with updates and supports that we're able to provide that week.
Thank you to our families for your continued support and engagement. I know that this school year has been tough on you too. I hope you can take the time that week to slow down and focus on your loved ones.
...
Sincerely,
Talisa Dixon
Superintendent/CEO, Columbus City Schools
