Hello Families,
First, I want to thank you all for your patience. I know many of you have questions about the upcoming school year. Info from the Governor’s office has allowed districts to begin putting in place “Return to School Plans”. Please see our return to school plan on the home page of our website or attached to an email sent to each family. Attached is a link to a survey where we would like more information about your choice to send your child back to traditional WL-S instruction at school or to participate in the schools online curriculum provided by schools PLP
Link to survey: https://forms.gle/GGeupLMyoWjjuEpR7
Again, please check the school’s website for the Return to school plan and the Champaign County Plan and be sure to complete a survey for each child coming to WL-S this fall. If you do not receive an email or text with a link to the survey, you may email me, Khissong@wlstigers.org, to receive one. Surveys are due on July 24, 2020
Thank you very much and we look forward to another great year with all of you, even if this year looks a little bit different than normal. We greatly appreciate your support and partnership and will do our very best to keep you informed about changes to the school year as decisions are made.
Sincerely, Kraig Hissong
