Williams School Reopening Bulletin
March 2021
Principal's Message
March is looking lucky for our Wildcats!
We're proud and happy to announce that we are on the road to reopening Williams School. Please let me assure you that we are taking extra care in preparing our classrooms and school environment in order to safely welcome back our students and school staff. Some of our students have been missing their school and friends for a year. However, for our smallest Wildcats, this will be the first time they work with their teacher, classmates and explore their TK and Kindergarten environments!
IMPORTANT REOPENING DATES:
- 03/29: Hybrid Grades TK/K/1st RETURN TO SCHOOL
- 04/05-04/16: Spring Break - NO SCHOOL
- 04/19: Hybrid Grades 2-5 RETURN TO SCHOOL
We can't launch our hybrid program without the support of our Williams community. Please help us ensure a successful school reopening by reviewing and following the Reopening Safety Summary details we've outlined below.
As we anxiously await to see and hear students back in our halls and classrooms, we'd like to express our appreciation for your patience and understanding throughout our journey toward reopening.
Go Wildcats!
