Good evening parents and students of Winthrop High School. I am sure you are looking for information specific to the high school regarding the message put out by Superintendent Jim Hodgkin earlier this evening. If we are open and you choose to keep your students home, please understand that my message to my teachers will be that there is no expectation of them teaching synchronously at this time. Synchronous learning requires a great deal of planning time which our teacher have not had. I will ask that they record their lessons and post that along with any assignments on their Google Classroom.

Specific to COVID cases at the high school, all parents of students who were deemed close contacts have been contacted by the school nurse. However, she is currently contact tracing another student that was identified late this afternoon.Your understanding and patience is greatly appreciated as this work is continued into the night. Please do not hesitate to contact me at school tomorrow if you have questions.

Due to voting taking place in the high school gym, November 2 is a remote learning day for the high school only. Students are expected to Zoom into their classes unless otherwise directed by their teachers.
