The Washington School District’s Pandemic Team voted unanimously on Friday to have all hybrid students at Washington Park Elementary move to a 4-day in- school schedule of Monday through Thursday, beginning Monday, February 8th.  Hybrid students in grades 3 through 6 will join the kindergarten through second grade who already had returned to a 4-day schedule.  Fridays will still be virtual.  At Washington Jr./Sr. High School,  7th and 8th grade students and seniors attending the current hybrid schedule will also return to a 4-day in-school learning schedule on Monday, February 8th.  The district’s Pandemic Team will meet next week to review moving Grades 9-11 to a 4 day in-school schedule on Monday, February 15th.  School officials say their decisions are being reviewed weekly based on a multitude of factors including the number of positive COVID-19 cases in the buildings.  Superintendent Dr. Konrad said, “We are extremely happy to welcome our students back to school for in-person learning.  Our Pandemic Team continues to meet and discuss ways to keep our students and staff safe and monitor the progress of our decisions.”
