The Office of School Administration will develop outreach plans to fully inform families of changes, new enrollment opportunities, and developments as they occur.
FY20 Plans:
*Webster: Establish a blended learning model (in person/online) satellite site for Riverside and Rufus King High Schools with the objective of cross enrolling 100-200 students from the schools' waiting lists. Students will move to the King and Riverside buildings as seats are available. The satellites will be staffed by 2 King teachers and 2 Riverside teachers. Telepresence capabilities for this site will be explored. Art, music and physical education instruction will be provided through collaboration with the Webster staff. The Office of School Administration will work closely with the Riverside and King principals as well as Student Services to make certain students on wait lists for these schools are informed of this enrollment option.
