Distance Learning Letter from our Superintendent
November 20, 2020
Dear Godwin Families,
I am writing to inform you of a decision that all Godwin Heights Public School buildings will extend distance learning through January 15, 2021. Distance learning will continue through the holiday season, with a return to in-person instruction on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.
We are making this announcement in an effort to mitigate further spread within our community. Students and families will receive any additional information from your child’s school building principal and teacher.
We apologize for the hardship this puts on our students, staff, and families. We take the responsibility of student health and safety very seriously and feel this is the best course of action at this time. It is important that we all take the necessary steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 so we can return to offering in-person instruction for our students and families. Please continue to monitor yourself and your children for any new symptoms that may be related to COVID-19, including fever, cough, difficulty breathing, headache, or fatigue. If you notice changes in your health or that of a family member, please contact your medical provider immediately.
The table below outlines the calendar for the next few weeks:
We will continue to partner with the Kent County Health Department and seek input from our staff. As always, the safety of our students, staff, and families is our first priority. We look forward to resuming in-person instruction on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.
Sincerely,
William Fetterhoff
Superintendent

PRIDE
Odysseyware Students:
Odysseyware Students! Starting next week, you have a chance to win a $25 gift card every week until the end of the semester.
Here are the ways that you can get your name into the drawing!
For every OW course you are in, you will get your name in for:
* Meeting your target goal for the week OR making 10% progress/week
* For every 2% over the 10% progress you make, your name will be entered again for the drawing every week.
* This means that if you have 6 classes in OW, you could get your name entered at least 6 times/week!
So, don't delay- get going on those OW classes!
