Fall 2020: Woodbury Parents Can Join Virtual Focus Groups

STILLWATER, MN — Parents and guardians of children in South Washington County Schools are asked to join virtual focus groups on the start of class in the fall. This week, the groups are discussing hybrid learning, which is one of the three styles of learning being considered for the fall.

The Minnesota Department of Education is urging school leaders to plan for all three scenarios so that school communities can be flexible and students can receive continuous education in the event that the COVID-19 pandemic may require schools to shift to a different educational delivery model.

The three scenarios are:

• In-person learning for all students
• Hybrid learning with strict social distance and capacity limits
• Distance learning only

Health officials will announce a decision for which model of educational delivery will be in the best for the 2020-21 school year this week.
