WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. — Parents and students in the Williamsville Central School District finally got answers Monday as the district unveiled parts of its relaunch plan.
As part of their relaunch plan, students and teachers will follow their normal schedule four days a week, learning in school or at home. Current class schedules will remain the same. Wednesday's schedule will be modified. A daily synchronous experience for all students in each class will take place Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and in homerooms on Wednesdays. This may look different in certain special area classes. Hybrid in-person learning, hybrid remote learners and fully remoter learners are part of the same class.
An implementation timeline will be released later this week.
Parents like Swaroop Singh weighed in on their thoughts Monday. Singh says, “I’m actually happy that synchronous learning is being considered, because that’s what has been implemented throughout the neighborhood school districts… But it all depends on how they implement it.”
By now, most people in Western New York are painfully aware of the drama surrounding Williamsville's return to school. There have been multiple last-minute changes, much to the dismay of students and parents.
The exact plan and timeline will not be announced until Wednesday.
