Hello Families,

You may be getting a similar communication from your child's classroom teacher, but we want to make sure everyone has access to our online platform for primary grades.

We will be using an online learning portfolio called Seesaw to share our remote learning during school dismissal. Each student will have a learning journal that is shared between teacher and student (and family members). 

To access Seesaw at home with your child, you will need to download the Seesaw CLASS app (Seesaw: The Learning Journal) or go to app.seesaw.me and enter your child’s personal Home Learning Code. Your child's teacher will be in touch by the end of the day on Thursday with the code.

Please visit this Tutorial page for help accessing and navigating Seesaw with your child.

Note - this access is DIFFERENT than the Family app, which allows you to see your child’s learning when they are in school. You may also be getting an invite from your teacher to connect through the Family app.

Teachers will be in touch on Monday about specific learning activities and how they connect to Seesaw! 

Sincerely,

John Hansen

Interim Principal

Windsor Central Schools Will Be Open Tomorrow March 16th

All Windsor Central Schools will be open tomorrow and buses will be running on schedule. Teachers will be working with students to prepare for an extended period of remote learning and students will be asked to take their belongings home. STUDENT ATTENDANCE IS OPTIONAL. If parents decide not to send their students to school tomorrow they will have the opportunity to stop by their child's school at some point during the week to pick up their child's belongings.

Windsor Central Schools Will Be Closed to Students Starting Tuesday, March 17th

Our educators will be receiving training this week to prepare them to provide remote learning for their students during this dismissal period. We will be ready to launch this program on Monday, March 23rd and are anticipating offering an introductory learning experience for all students this Friday, March 20th. We are also preparing options for students who do not have access to internet or digital devices.

Daily Food Service for Students on Free and Reduced Lunch

Starting on 3/23 students on free and reduced lunch will have meals delivered to their homes on a daily basis. Tomorrow, a week's worth of food will be sent home with students to cover until delivery begins on the 23rd.

Planning for Child Care for Health Care Workers Underway

Dear WES families, 

There have been a number of reported cases on influenza among our student population in recent weeks. We would like families to know that we are following CDC (and Vermont Department of Health) Guidelines for cleaning our school building. Attached is some information for parents. If your child is ill with flu like symptoms, please keep them home from school. If your child has a fever, they should not return to school until they are fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication. The information below includes when to contact your child's pediatrician. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
