Dear Families,
Today is the final day of Semester 1, and I hope you have a safe and relaxing Holiday Season. Final grades were posted today, and those can be accessed through ParentVue and StudentVue.
We will resume Semester 2 on Tuesday, January 5th, 2021. When we return for Semester 2, student schedules will be available in StudentVue and ParentVue. When you are looking for the schedule, you will need to switch over to Semester 2. Currently, you may not see a Semester 2 schedule. Schedules will be released as soon as possible, and will be available before the first day of Semester 2.
At this time, we will be returning to school ONLINE from 1/5-1/8, with those students who have chosen in-person school returning to campus on Monday, 1/11.
If you have communicated elective requests with Ms. Colgan, those have been taken into account. We will continue to process elective change requests within the first two weeks of Semester 2. Please keep in mind that all elective placements will be based on class sizes and offerings. At this time, also remember that we are offering both in-person course and online courses and this has made elective offerings challenging in some cases, depending on the rest of the student's schedule.
We will make every effort to leave year-long courses the same, but in some cases, students may have a change of teacher, due to the need to bring more teachers back to campus as additional families have selected to come back for in-person learning.
If you need to re-activate your ParentVue account or you do not have one yet, please email Molly Colgan at: mcolgan@musd20.org.
The DWMS Front Office will be CLOSED for from 12/21-1/1 and will be open on Monday, 1/4/2021. Any enrollments, withdraws, or general inquires will be addressed on 1/4.
The DWMS Learning Labs will be open 1/5-1/8 for school hours. Transportation is provided. If you would like to register your student for the Learning Lab, please call the front office and leave a message. You must contact the office to enroll in the Learning Lab. Transportation will be arranged for students on 1/4. Students must bring their device and headphones and be ready to attend all virtual classes!
Grab and Go meals will be served 1/5-1/8.
Thank you for a great first semester. On behalf of my whole staff, I would like to thank you and your students for demonstrating resilience and determination to make it through a challenging semester. I wish you a restful and safe Winter Break as you celebrate with your families.
