From Racine Unified School District:
"The Racine Unified School District will begin the 2020-2021 school year with 100 percent remote learning for students in all grades. This model will continue through the first quarter which ends Nov. 6. The District will share plans for second-quarter no later than Oct. 19.
This decision was not made lightly. An RUSD Re-Entry Planning Team made up of more than 150 District administrators, teachers, community members and parents, has been planning for a safe return to school since May. The team has worked tirelessly to put together a plan that meets the academic and social/emotional needs of our students while keeping everyone safe. The District has received input from thousands of parents and guardians, staff and community members and worked closely with our local health departments to make informed and data-driven decisions to develop our plan for returning to school this fall.
“We know that face-to-face learning is best for our students,” Superintendent Dr. Eric Gallien said. “And we’re committed to doing so when we know it is a safe decision. In the meantime, we are committed to providing a robust remote learning experience for every student.”
Student Learning Schedule
-
Students will be taught in a remote format by their school teacher(s) following a defined schedule.
-
Details about instruction will be provided to parents in the coming weeks.
-
Teachers and school staff will report to work and teach from their classrooms.
“Now, more than ever, strong relationships between schools and families are vital to student success. The Re-Entry Team is developing strategies to support our families as they continue to assist their children with learning at home,” Gallien said.
“I want to thank our RUSD staff, families and community partners for their input and support during these last several months,” said Dr. Gallien."
