Superintendent’s Message
Thursday, January 7, 2021
WCS Families:
In consultation with the Warren City Health Department, other local health officials and in review of recent data/statistics specific to the City of Warren/Warren City Schools we are announcing the following tentative schedule for student learning:
- All students PK-12 will remain on full online remote learning for two more weeks.
- Cohort B students will tentatively return on Thursday, January 21, 2021.
- Cohort A students will tentatively return on Monday, January 25, 2021.
- Cohort A and B students may be combined to attend school four days per week as early as March 2021 dependent on health conditions and adult vaccinations in our community/with our school employees.
As we plan our return for students we will continue over the next two weeks to continue plans for some student activities to phase in such as our 21st Century after school program, as well as some extra-curricular and co-curricular groups, including meetings, practices and competition.
Food service operations will continue to provide meals to our students during this time and when hybrid students return we will go back to a feeding schedule as it was before we moved to full online/remote status.
We are concerned with the overall health in our community. Many students and staff members continue to be in insolation or quarantine for contact or positive test results, with varied symptoms and long term outcomes. We have been preparing for a vaccination opportunity for our staff in coordination with local health officials as soon as it becomes available and we believe this will help us to return our students and staff to the classroom later this year, hopefully as early as March.
As always, if you need assistance with your child’s learning or have questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher or building Principal for support.
Steve Chiaro, Superintendent
Warren City Schools
