The West Linn-Wilsonville School District is excited to offer preschool at seven WLWV primary schools again next school year (2021-22). The program is tuition-based and parents must provide transportation. Families can register today by visiting the district website. Families who have already pre-registered will be contacted by their school in the coming weeks.

Benefits of enrolling in your neighborhood preschool, or any WLWV school, are many. WLWV Preschools help young learners to:

• Develop curiosity and an eagerness for learning
• Understand and feel good about themselves
• Expand the world they live in
• Communicate with others in many ways
• Do things independently and learn to work with others
• Develop good work habits and attitudes
• Listen and follow directions
• Develop muscles, senses, and coordination\
• Handle their feelings as well as the feelings of others
• Develop literacy skills and number concepts

Students enrolled in the district will have TWO learning options during the 2021-22 School Year:

• Option One: Attend Neighborhood School Fully In-Person, Everyday

We look forward to beginning the new school year with our students fully on-site, every day, for their learning experience. With the recently changed safety protocol of physical distancing (3 feet) by the Oregon Health Authority, all WLWV schools will begin the 2021-2022 school year with five, full days of in-person instruction typical of past years. Students who choose this option can expect a “normal” model of on-site learning.

Optional Blended Learning Courses, G. 9 - 12

We have learned a great deal this year about how a successful format of remote learning can benefit many students. Therefore, we plan to offer several courses in a Blended Learning format (remote and in-person learning) for interested high school students, next year and beyond. Students will have the option to take 1-2 courses online taught by a WLWV teacher, in selected subject areas, while still enrolled in their other courses on-site. Blended Learning courses may vary in their set up. Some may be more structured for whole class participation, occasional on-site labs or check-ins with aligned course pacing. Other classes may be less structured, more individualized, and students will determine their own pace towards completion of their course. Students taking a Blended Learning course can expect to engage in some learning in-person at school and some learning remotely. Students/families can view the Blended Learning options offered at their school when they work with their school on “forecasting” for next year.

• Option Two: Enroll in WLWV K12 Online Academy (WKOA) - Grades K-12

For the 2021-2022 school year, the District will continue offering a fully online, remote learning option for students who reside in the district. The online academy will continue to utilize the K12 Stride (formerly FuelEd) digital curriculum for academic content.

The structure of WKOA (formerly called WKOP) will be set up differently than it was during the pandemic. Read more about the WKOA structure for 2021-22 on the district website.

The Two Learning Options for 2021-2022 School Year visual may be helpful to use when determining a family’s plans for enrollment next year.

Remember, all students are still required to wear face coverings while participating in hybrid in-person learning. This includes outdoors.

Students can continue to expect regular mask breaks while outside and students are encouraged to refill water bottles frequently.

Here are some helpful tips for making sure your student is wearing their facemask properly. If your student cannot wear a face covering for medical reasons, please contact your principal prior to the transition to hybrid learning.

During the May 3 School Board Meeting, Superintendent Dr. Kathy Ludwig outlined the district's shared commitment to starting the 2021-22 school year with all students attending in-person five full days per week. The District has already begun the hiring process for the 2021-22 school year, and schools are well into the class placement and course selection process for the fall.

The School Board unanimously passed a motion during the May 3 meeting confirming the School Board and School District's commitment to starting the 2021-22 school year with a fully in-person 5 day per week schedule.

The District's plans for the fall full return to in-person learning is contingent on guidance and requirements from the Oregon Department of Education and Oregon Health Authority.
