The good news is that OSPI informed all school districts today to plan on in-person classes for next fall!! However, once again we ask for patience and grace in unpacking the recently released guidelines. While we know there will many regulations that can easily be accommodated (temperature checks, extra cleaning, etc.), there are some that will definitely be more difficult. For example, the guidelines released today indicate that all students (except those falling under certain health or disability categories) will be required to wear masks on buses and in schools. There are two points that we'd like to share with you today on this topic. The first is that as the summer progresses, that mandate may be modified especially in communities with no COVID-19 outbreaks. The second is that we desperately want to be back to in-person education so if the guidance does not change, know that Selkirk will work hard to make it workable for families so that we can have your students back in class with our teachers who miss them very much! Just remember the start of next school year is 2 1/2 months away....much can happen in that time.
Get help with groceries this summer! All students attending Selkirk Elementary (where meals are free to all kids) are eligible or if your child is in 6th-12th grade and your family qualifies for free and reduced meals, there is a new program this summer to help families buy groceries!
