On August 31, the WEM school board approved a learning model for the start of the 2020-2021 school year. Kindergarten through grade 6 will be back in the school buildings full time. Grades 7 through 12 will be doing a hybrid model with both in-person and distance learning. Read the
WEM Safe Return to School Plan 2020-2021 for details, including scenario descriptions, fall entrance conferences, and plans for transportation, sanitation/safety, food service, mental health, health/safety, School Age Care (SAC), and MSHSL sponsored activities.
Conferences were held the week of September 8-11. Our first official day of school with students was Monday, September 14, 2020. See the
2020-2021 Academic Calendar for more information. Parents are encouraged to check their email messages often as details and developments will be forthcoming.
WEM Academy is a distance-learning-only option for families who are uncomfortable sending their students to school at this time. We would ask for a commitment by the quarter. Please contact your child's school office if you are interested.

Subsequent changes to the learning model will be communicated with families as needed if there are changes to the number of COVID-19 cases or the guidelines. As WEM continues to review, refine, and implement guidance from Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota Department of Education, and work with our local school board, the plan we have created is subject to change. Changes will reflect the guidance provided and state/local decisions. The health, safety, security, and educational well-being is our number one priority.
A letter was sent to families on September 2 explaining the
Hybrid Model Grades 7-12 Details.
The Minnesota Department of Health offers a
COVID-19 Attendance Guide for Parents and Families.
