Details for the 2020-2021 School Year:
The 2020-2021 school year will begin with Comprehensive Distance Learning due to the criteria for in-person learning established by the Oregon Department of Education. In order to return to in-person learning, SCS is advised to meet specific metrics. You can find these metrics published here. The latest county metrics can be found here, and a helpful visual dashboard is available here. As we have students and staff from multiple counties, based on current enrollment we will consider the metrics for both Washington and Yamhill counties, as well as Clackamas county. We will be continually monitoring the metrics while in Comprehensive Distance Learning and will notify families of any impending changes. Once the decision to switch to in-person instruction is made, SCS will move to a hybrid model, with students attending in-person 2 days a week and 2 days of distance learning. More information about this model will be provided as we get closer to in-person learning.
Hybrid Transition Overview
In preparation for returning to Hybrid in-person learning, SCS has a Transition Committee that consists of staff, teachers, parents and the school board. As you can imagine, there is a lot of planning and considerations that need to take place for the transition to hybrid in-person learning. The transition committee has been busy reviewing guidance, sorting out available resources and considering the needs of students, parents and staff. We all know that school will look different when we return in-person and we have put together an overview visual of how things will be different. As weeks progress, we will continue to refine details to this overview so you can see how things evolve.
