Update on the Anacortes
School District Reopening Schools in 2021
F
acebook Post 12/17/2020:
The State of Washington has re
vised their guidance to schools and in-person learning related to the coron
avirus. The State Department of Health (DOH) revised the metrics to inform
local decisions around the provision of in-person learning and the risk of
transmission of COVID-19 in school environments. These revisions were based
on emerging research and data gathered by state and national officials.
New metrics recommend that schools can now move to hybrid (some in
-person) learning when community cases are between 50-350 cases per 100,000
. This is an increase of the previous recommended metric of 25-75 cases per
100,000. Governor Inslee’s press conference from December 16 can be viewed
here: https://www.tvw.org/
The Anacortes S
chool District continues its plan to return Pre-K-5th grade students to in-
person learning on January 11, and 6th-12th grade students on February 8. A
ll students receiving special education services will return to in-person l
earning on January 11. Elementary students will continue on a morning/ afte
rnoon split schedule Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with Wednesday a
s a full remote learning day. 6th-12th grade students will attend full days
on a rotating schedule.
“We have been working on the logistics
for our students to return to in-person learning,” said Superintendent Just
in Irish. “This new state guidance gives us further confidence that we can
continue with our plans. We look forward to welcoming students back into ou
r buildings.”
The state’s guidance was revised based on research
and data, particularly related to transmission rates in schools when all s
afety and health protocols are followed. The district continues to work clo
sely with the Skagit County Health Department on its return to in-person le
arning.
“Students will continue to wear masks, follow social dis
tancing, remain in small groups in classrooms, and complete daily health at
testations,” said District Nurse Emily Wade. “As we’ve seen throughout the
state, these measures are helping contain the transmission of the virus, an
d we need everyone to continue to be vigilant in following all health proto
cols.”
The district continues to work closely with its employee
labor groups in planning a safe return to schools. The district’s pool of s
ubstitutes also continues to grow in order to respond to staff that may nee
d to quarantine. Anyone interested in subbing for the district should visit
our Human Resources website: http://www.asd103.org/departments_and.../human_resourc
es
“We are all hands on deck,” said Dr. Irish. “Our staff ar
e cross-training where they can in order to cover staff absences, and I rem
ain incredibly impressed by the teamwork across the district.”

Update on 8/12/2020 regardin g school placements from the ASD Facebook page:
Kindergarten students will not be place d at the Whitney Early Childhood Education Center for the 2020-21 school ye ar, based on financial constraints, space needs, and projected enrollment n umbers.
The district will continue to run its developmental pre-schoo
l program at Whitney, as well as continue to lease space to the YMCA for th
eir childcare program. Kindergarten teachers and some staff from Whitney wi
ll be reassigned to other buildings. Developmental pre-school staff wil
“I know that Whitney is a special place for our students and our staff,” said Superintendent Justin Irish. “We are also fac ing several tough decisions this year, based in part on lower kindergarten enrollment numbers. We also want to help the YMCA expand their childcare op tions, as we know many of our families will have increased needs this year, with all schools beginning in a remote format.”
Superintendent Irish and Whitney Principal Shannon Gilbert met with staff this week to let them know of the upcoming changes.
Elementary placement
Principals continue to work through the elementary placement process. Families will be gin to be notified of their assigned elementary school on August 28th via e mail; teacher assignments will be sent out by September 4, via email. ASD@H ome will follow a similar timeline.
The Anacor tes School District has been holding several Q&A sessions with parents via ZOOM. These are listed as events on the ASD Fa cebook page.
The ASD has decided to not offer any school at hletics/sports for the Fall 2020 season. There will be some recreational op portunities through the Anacortes Parks & Recreation Department.
The Anacortes School District will begin its fall school year in a fully remote model, based on recommendations by the Anacortes School B oard. Superintendent Justin Irish provided an update to the board earlier t his week, outlining the complexities required to offer in-person instructio n, including transportation challenges, health screening, social distancing guidelines, limited space, and staffing constraints. District staff contin ue to plan the learning model for the fall, as well as support for students receiving special education and Engli sh language services.
The schoo l year will begin on Monday, September 14. Families will have two options t o choose from once registration opens on August 17: ASD Hybrid and ASD@Home. The ASD Hybrid model will include an event ual phased-in approach to in-person learning. ASD@Home is a fully remote option, with a parent or guardian as the pri mary teacher/ coach and ASD staff offering support. Current AMS Principal R yan Pike will lead ASD@Home.
By starti ng the year fully remote, the district can better plan for an eventual retu rn to in-person instruction, and focus on developing an instructional model that supports all learners. Instruction will look different than it did la st spring, when we had little time to plan for the school closure.
Re quirements for our learning model will include:
Daily Attendance
Required Learning Minutes per Day
Student and Staff Accountability
Student Assessment and Feedback
Staff Professional Learning
On
line Instructional Materials (new and existing materials)
Phased-in ap
proach for face-to-face
Support for students who receive special educa
tion services (more detail to come)
We also know that this poses chal lenges to parents and guardians, creating impacts on work schedules and chi ldcare. We are partnering with community agencies to help promote childcare options.
We will continue to keep our staff and community informed a s plans develop. More information is posted on our website: https://bit.ly/A SDFall

The Anacortes School Year will begin September 14th and end June 21st. Link to the updated calen dar here: https://bit.ly/3gaudbr
From th e Anacortes School District Facebook page: The Anacortes School Board recen tly approved an update to the school calendar for the 2020-21 school year.< /p>
The school year will now start on Monday, September 14, 2020, and end on Monday, June 21, 2021. The updated calendar is posted on our website. T his shifted start time allows us to provide more staff training in Septembe r before school starts.
The district is continuing to build its homes chool platform and a long-term hybrid learning model for the year. That hyb rid learning model will likely start off as a full remote learning option, due to a number of factors and complexities , and will phase into an in-person model. Exact dates and other details con tinue to be finalized. We will continue to keep our community updated.
Families will be asked to officiall y register for their selected learning model mid-August, rather than a prel iminary survey this month. The school board plans to officially vote on the district’s continuous learning plan on August 27.
