Announcements:

Dear Westminster Public Schools Community and Staff,

I just finished an important meeting with our Board of Education where we again reviewed our community COVID-19 numbers and the trends continue to move in the wrong direction.

As a result, beginning Monday, November 2, we will go to an all-remote learning platform for a two-week period and then return to in-person learning on Monday, November 16.

We are hopeful that the “Level 3 - Safer at Home” Adams County restrictions that took effect earlier this evening, based on an order from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, will reverse the upward trend.

I consulted with Tri-County Health’s Executive Director, Dr. John Douglas, this afternoon and he fully supports this plan.

Tomorrow, the district will be sending out more information about our plans to support remote learning, fully sanitize our schools and continue to provide important food services to our families.

Students and staff who are already under quarantine because of COVID-19 will return with everyone else on Monday, November 16.

I can’t stress enough the importance of keeping our students in the classroom. If we all step up right now, we can slow the spread of COVID-19 and ensure that our students continue their education in an environment that is safe for them and WPS staff.

Kindest regards,

Dr. Pamela Swanson

Superintendent of Schools

Estimado personal y comunidad de las Escuelas Públicas de Westminster,

Acabo de terminar una reunión importante con nuestra Junta de Educación donde revisamos nuevamente los números de COVID-19 de nuestra comunidad y las tendencias continúan moviéndose en la dirección equivocada.

Como resultado, a partir del lunes 2 de noviembre, iremos a una plataforma de aprendizaje totalmente remoto durante un período de dos semanas y luego regresaremos al aprendizaje en persona el lunes 16 de noviembre.

Tenemos la esperanza de que las restricciones de "Nivel 3 - Más seguro en el hogar" del condado de Adams que entraron en vigor esta noche, basadas en una orden del Departamento de Salud Pública y Medio Ambiente de Colorado, revertirán la tendencia al alza.

Consulté con el Director Ejecutivo de Tri-County Health, el Dr. John Douglas, esta tarde y él apoya plenamente este plan.

Mañana, el distrito enviará más información sobre nuestros planes para apoyar el aprendizaje remoto, desinfectar completamente nuestras escuelas y continuar brindando importantes servicios alimentarios a nuestras familias.

Los estudiantes y el personal que ya están en cuarentena debido al COVID-19 regresarán con todos los demás el lunes 16 de noviembre.

No puedo enfatizar lo suficiente la importancia de mantener a nuestros estudiantes en el salón de clases. Si todos damos un paso al frente en este momento, podemos reducir la propagación de COVID-19 y asegurarnos de que nuestros estudiantes continúen su educación en un ambiente que sea seguro para ellos y el personal de WPS.

Saludos cordiales,

Dra. Pamela Swanson

Superintendente de escuelas
