2021-22 District In-Person Learning Plan

Dear Shorewood Families,

We look forward to welcoming our students and staff back to school on September 1, 2021. We want this to be a joy-filled return to school, focusing on re-connecting, in-person learning and, of course, safety for all.  

The  Shorewood School District In-Person Learning Plan details both the COVID-19 safety and construction policies that will be in place as we begin the school year. 

As we discuss safety, we want to share area vaccination resources and other vaccine information. Presently, vaccination is the best way to combat COVID-19, and the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and other public health authorities recommend vaccinations for school-aged children who are eligible.  Now is the time to schedule vaccinations so that eligible students have this protection. 

We are closely monitoring conditions in our schools and in our community and will modify plans as needed to respond to changing needs and conditions. We will do our best to communicate with you with clarity and timeliness, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as any necessary modifications are implemented. 

Within the plan, there is a chance for you to submit your questions to us. We have tried to be thorough in our communication, yet we know we may not have addressed all of your questions. Questions submitted will be used to create a Frequently Asked Questions document on our website.

In closing, I want to thank you for your support of our schools. In my short time here, I have found everyone so caring for our students: their success, their happiness, their safety, their growth. No doubt, these are challenging times for all of us. As we make decisions, we pledge to keep student safety, student learning, and student social/emotional wellness at the forefront of the decisions we make. We want this to be a great year for Shorewood students and families. Thanks for working with us to make it so.

With appreciation,

Dr. JoAnn Sternke
Interim Superintendent, Shorewood School District
