Explorer Express for 3/15/21
All 4/5 Face-to-Face Students Returning Monday, March 15
Weatherstone Families,
We are excited to welcome back our Face-to-Face 4th and 5th grade students for daily instruction on Monday, March 15. In order to accommodate more students returning to the building daily, we have had to make some changes to our 3-5 Face to Face and Virtual Academy schedules. We wanted to share the updated 3-5 schedules with you. While no 4/5 students will have to change teachers or teams, some student’s schedules will be adjusted.
Homeroom teachers will also be reaching out next week with more information about specific schedule changes for students. Please reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions.
Updated WES 3-5 Schedule March 2021
