Updated 04/20/2021
Update on high school students returning to in-person learning 5
days per week:
April 2, 2021
Dear families,
Over the past week, district leadership has discussed how to safely implem ent the new CDC distancing guidance in our schools. The new state DOH guidelines reflect spacing of 3 feet for most activities while students are masked. The CDC still reco mmends 6 feet between staff and between students and staff. It also recomme nds 6 feet among students in certain circumstances, such as eating and duri ng activities when increased exhalation occurs, such as singing, shouting, band, or sports and exercise as well as in common areas such as school lobb ies and auditoriums.
Following these guidelines, the Sedro-Woolley Sc hool District will welcome all K-12 students back to in-person learning five days a week beginning April 19. Wednesday, April 14, w ill serve as a transition day for all students with teachers providing asynchronous learnin g. In-person students will still be required to follow safety protocols: wearing masks, practicing regular hand washing, and keepi ng social interactions to a minimum.
The CDC guidance adopted by the DOH allows for more physical space, supporting students who choose in-perso n learning, while still keeping the health and safety of everyone in our bu ildings as our top priority. Families will continue to have a remote learni ng option. Buildings will pr ovide specific updates to families in regard to any changes.
M ore information will be shared as decisions are made. If you have questions , please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. span>. Thank you for your con tinued patience and partnership.
Sincerely,
Ph il Brockman, Superintendent

Update on high school students re turning to in-person hybrid learning March 8th:
March 8 , 2021
Dear Families,
The district has been working to reopen o ur school buildings using a phased-in, hybrid in-person approach. We have b rought back K–8 students in a slow manner, carefully monitoring our safety protocols to ensure the health and safety of students and staff.
In a similar fashion, we are going to do a phased-in model at Sedro-Woolley Hig h School, starting with staggered, small-group ninth-grade ori entation days during the next two Wednesdays (Ma rch 17 and 24). The school will be communicating specific informat ion about the orientation days that will bring small groups of freshmen to campus before we bring back the entire school on March 25  ;in a hybrid model.
To help reduce the number of students in our buildings at any given time, we will split students into two groups: C ohort A and Cohort B. Cohorts have been assigned by school buildings to bal ance class sizes and student needs. Siblings will be in the same cohort at the elementary, middle, and high school grade levels. All students will con tinue to learn remotely on Wednesdays.
High school families will rece ive their cohort assignments from the school via email. If you have specifi c questions about those assignments, please contact the high school at 360- 855-3510.
Wednesday | Th ursday/Friday | |
Cohort A in-person learning days. Cohort B will work independently on work provided by their teac hers. | Remote only student check-in with teach ers Limited in-person instructional support Asynchronous Support | Cohort B in-person learning days. Cohort A will work independently on work provided by their teac hers. |
We will continue to offer a remote-on ly learning option for families who do not yet feel comfortable having thei r students return to school. These students have already been assigned to t his option as requested in earlier surveys.
State Street High School will also bring students back to campus in a hybrid m odel on April 12. Families will receive more informat ion about their student’s State Street schedule from Principal Barb Askland .
The USDA Meal Kits will continue to be provided at no cost on Wednesdays. Breakfast and lunch will also be served to students on campu s at no cost through the end of the 2020-2021 school year.
High schoo l student-athletes are participating under WIAA guidelines. Questions about athletics and COVID-19 prevention and guidelines should be directed to Ath letic Director This e mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
As the district brings high school students back to campus, I would ask our c ommunity to continue helping us control the spread of COVID-19. Wear a mask , wash your hands, stay home when possible, and limit in-person interaction s. If a school has an outbreak, we may be required by public health to move a building or class back to remote learning. Returning to a normal educati onal experience depends on our community being vigilant against the virus.< /p>
We will continue to post updates to our School Reopening Plan page on
the district website at https://w

Phil Brockman, Superintendent

February 2, 2021< /p>
Dear Families,
Based on the new state Department of Health guid ance and revised metrics to reopen schools safely, the district has been wo rking to reopen our school buildings using a hybrid in-person approach. Kin dergarten through grade 2 students returned to school this week. Grades 3–4 are scheduled to be back in school on Monday, February 8, and grades 5–6 w ill return on Tuesday, February 16.
Cascade Middle School is tentativ ely scheduled to transition grade 7 students in a partial-day format for or ientation on February 18 and 19. All middle school students are tentatively scheduled to re-open in a hybrid in-person learning model on Monday, Febru ary 22. Families will receive more detailed information from school adminis trators in the next few days.
Our high school staff continues t o work on their respective re-opening plan, which is based on positive COVI D metric rate per 1oo,000 at 225. The return-to-campus date for the high sc hool is still to be determined.
To help reduce the number of students in our building at any given time, we will split our students into two gro ups: Cohort A and Cohort B. Cohorts have been assigned by school buildings to balance class sizes and student needs. Siblings will be in the same coho rt at the elementary, middle, and high school grade levels. All students wi ll learn remotely on Wednesdays.
We will continue to offer a remote-o nly learning option for families who do not yet feel comfortable having the ir students return to school. These students have already been assigned to this option as requested in earlier surveys.
Middle school fa milies will receive their cohort assignments from their school buildings vi a email. If you have specific questions about those assignments, please con tact your student’s building administrator or secretary at 360-855-3520.
The USDA Meal Kits will continue to be provided at no cost on Wednesdays. Breakfast and lunch will also be served to students on campus at no cost through the end of the 2020-2021 school year.
High school student-athletes are returning to practices under WIAA guidelines. Q uestions about practices and COVID-19 prevention and guidelines should be d irected to Athletic Director Jerry Gardner. No guidance has been issue d for middle school athletics, so those are currently on hold.
As the district continues to bring students back to campus, I would ask our commu nity to help control the spread of COVID-19. Wear a mask, wash your hands, stay home when possible, and limit in-person interactions. If a school has an outbreak, we may be required by public health to move a building or clas s back to remote learning.
