It’s a Great Day to be a Tiger! I can hardly believe this is the last full week of June. The summer is going by so quickly as we are preparing for the 2020-2021 school year. We will announce the plan on or before July 6th. This gives school and district leaders time to meet with the COVID-19 Task Force, gather more information, and listen to the concerns of our parents and community.
The goal is to have a traditional schedule while using CDC guidance for reducing the spread of COVID-19. Importantly, 80% of parents who responded to the district’s survey supported the traditional schedule with 8% stating that their children have health issues that would impact their decision to attend.
On Monday, June 22nd, WMCSD leaders met with the Winona Ministerial Alliance to develop a plan and partnership in order to better serve our nearly 1,300 students and their families. We understand that to educate our students, we must first meet their basic needs and form caring relationships with them and their families. Any church leader who would like to be a part of this outreach can call the Superintendent’s Office at (662) 283-3731 ext. 1.
