WYWLA WEEKLY UPDATE
SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 2020
WE are here for you
Welcome back from spring break! I know that many of you had your spring break plans disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As we return, know that we will be returning to a new and uncertain normal. I'm sure that you may have "signed off" during the break and may not be up-to-date with all of the information that has been shared by me or the district. It has been overwhelming to keep up with the information that has been shared. Please take a moment to visit the district's website for updates regarding COVID-19. You can link the COVID-19 Updates from our webpage, or click HERE.
WYWLA and all Wake County Schools will be closed Monday, March 23 - 27, 2020. District leaders are working around the clock to make decisions and share information. Please continue to monitor district updates. The GMS campus will be closed March 23 - 27 for cleaning. We will let you know when students may stop by to gather personal items from their lockers.
Please know that we are here to support you and your daughter during these uncertain times. The staff will have a virtual meeting on Monday to discuss ways to stay connected with our students. Please don't hesitate to contact me or any staff member if you have questions or need assistance.
Sincerely,
Principal CJB
WCPSS REMOTE LEARNING RESOURCES
The Wake County Public School System will provide instructional resources and extension activities that will help students remain engaged in learning while schools are closed. These resources and opportunities will continue to evolve and grow over the course of any extended school closure.
No core instruction assignments, projects or activities will be assigned nor graded and assessed throughout the duration of the initial two-week school closure ending March 30 (with the exception of students who are already enrolled in for-credit learning through NCVPS, dual enrollment, early college courses, or other online platforms).
Early college students will begin online instruction for SAU courses on Monday. Please see emails that were sent last week for more information.
HELP STUDENTS STAY CONNECTED
Students are encouraged to monitor their WCPSS email accounts for announcements and updates from the school. We are working to set up group chats for each grade level to allow students to communicate and stay connected during the school closings. Invites to join chat groups will be sent to individuals WCPSS student email accounts. Students can join via phone apps or by logging into a website.
STUDENTS ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS FOR GOOGLE CLASSROOM AND REMIND TO AVOID MISSING ANNOUNCEMENTS.
