                                              INTRODUCTION
Wilson is committed to the health and safety of our students, staff, and their families. Families have two
options going forward. Option 1 is to continue with the fully remote model and Option 2 is the Return to Learn
Plan, which is an in-person model, also included below. The in-person plan includes specific guidelines for
our staff and students to follow with the health and safety of everyone in mind. Each member of the school
community must ensure their own health and safety by adhering to these guidelines and reporting any issues
or safety concerns immediately to the Wilson Administration.

Building administration will continuously review all health and safety information as it relates to our District
Responsible Return to In-Person Learning Plan. Updates regarding our physical distancing requirements,
face coverings, hand hygiene procedures, daily maintenance procedures, and the specific guidance for a
symptomatic staff member, student, or visitor in our building will come directly from health experts and
agencies.

All students entered the 2020-2021 school year in a remote learning model. Wilson students have had the
ability to become comfortable and familiar with utilizing the appropriate technology platforms, Google
Classroom and Google Meets, to communicate, learn, and complete assignments with their teachers and
support staff.

An assigned teacher will provide instruction to students who choose remote learning. Students will be required
to log in daily at a certain time for contact/instruction/questions. Assignments/Assessments will be given and
used for grades/standards and treated accordingly with each grade level (due dates/late grades, etc.).

Teachers will not be available when they are providing instruction to students in attendance Mondays-
Thursdays, according to the Return to Learn model below. Appointments must be made in advance. These
appointments would preferably be scheduled for Fridays or at an agreed upon time between the teacher and
the student/family.
