In a letter to Wayzata Public Schools families and staff, Superintendent Chace Anderson announced that the school district will present a hybrid learning plan to school board members next week.
Below is the text the school district sent out in an email Thursday afternoon.
Dear WPS Families and Staff,
I am pleased to share Wayzata
Learns—A flexible plan for the 2020-21 school year. Safe learning is at the
heart of our planning for the 2020-21 school year. One thing the virus is
teaching us all is to be flexible. This plan reflects that flexibility,
preparing us for the possibility of in-person learning and the necessity of
distance learning as the year progresses.
Based on the current trends of COVID-19 in our community, we
are proposing to practice safety by beginning the year with hybrid learning.
Our Wayzata Distance Choice scenario is an option for families who are not
comfortable with hybrid or in-person learning.
The Wayzata Learns plan is being presented to the Wayzata
School Board at a Work Session today at 4 p.m. A link to the meeting can be
found on our online
District Calendar.
Please share your feedback by completing the survey that can
be found in the Wayzata Learns plan no later than noon on Saturday, August
8. The Board is planning to take action on a recommendation at its August 10
regular meeting at 7 p.m.
Thank you again for your continued support, patience and
understanding as we do our very best to plan for the 2020-21 school year.
Sincerely,
Chace B. Anderson
Superintendent

Gov. Tim Walz announced last week that individual Minnesota public school districts will determine their own instruction plans for the upcoming school year as a part of the
Safe Learning Plan.
COVID-19 cases in each school district will impact how school districts determine the plan for fall.
Gov. Tim Walz at news conference July 30, 2020
The State of Minnesota recommends the following learning models according to the number of COVID-19 cases.
These are recommendations that are given to the individual school districts to help determine what is best for their students and staff.
There were basically three options on the table: 1.) Students return to class full time, 2.) Students return to class part time and do distance learning part time, 3.) Students do only distance learning.
Meanwhile, more than half of school district staff stated they were very comfortable or comfortable in returning to their school/work location this fall
according to a school district survey.
