New policy implemented March 24th

info released by Lake Chelan School District

Dear Lake Chelan Families: thanks to all of you for your continued support during this time! Although hard to believe, it has been almost a full year since the start of the pandemic. Students, teachers, coaches, and our entire school district staff have done a remarkable job of working through the many challenges posed by the pandemic. Suffice to say there are brighter days ahead!

Recently, the Board of Directors directed me to explore the possibility of increasing instructional time. Specifically, they were interested in looking at this from two perspectives:

  • Short Term: Adding Wednesday in-person to our current AM/PM Hybrid Model
  • Long Term: Exploring the idea of phasing in Full-time In-person Learning

Thanks to the support of our teachers, effective March 24th, we will be adding Wednesdays to our current instruction model. Students will now be attending school 5 days a week in the current AM/PM Model for the remainder of this school year.

As we continue to study and analyze the possibility of full-time in person learning your input is an integral part of this decision. Therefore, during parent conferences, you will have the opportunity to complete a survey on this important topic. Once we have gathered the data from our survey, we will determine our next steps in this process.

Sincerely,
Barry P. DePaoli, Superintendent
