Dear Wayzata High School Families,
We believe our current modified hybrid model of learning (80% synchronous "live" instruction combined with both full and occasional hybrid/in-person experiences) positions us to best meet these expectations.
More than ever before during these times of extreme challenge, we must all come together as a school community to support our students and teachers. Culture matters, and culture is far more important than any model. More importantly, all of our programs, systems, processes and supports need to be aligned and pointing in the same direction, especially during uncertain times or when we have to take a detour from our normal/comfortable routines. Our students are highly capable and skilled and they are depending on all of us to help get them to the other side together. Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline (1990) Finally, our teachers remain committed to identifying additional full and occasional hybrid classes that will allow more students into the building for in-person learning experiences, and we are committed to fulfilling the promises outlined in the WHS Wayzata Learns Plan. If synchronized instruction from home is not working for your student, please reach out to your student's support team or me as soon as possible and we will partner with you to provide help. We have designated structured space in the building dedicated to help students stay focused, safe and on-task with their learning. Students may also sign up for these spaces from directly within the WHS Hub (they can access this via the MyApps portal).
Stay safe and enjoy the long weekend ahead.
Sincerely,
Principal |
