Re-entry Plan Learning Selection

On Wednesday, July 29th, the Cedarburg Board of Education approved two learning environments for the 2020-21 school year. Both on-campus (in-person) and at-home (virtual) learning environments will be provided. Learn more about the details of the CSD Re-Entry Plan here. 

As planning continues for the 2020-21 school year, we are asking families to commit to one of the two learning environments for each of their students as soon as possible for Quarter 1. The Quarter 1 learning environment selection is open through Friday, August 7th. This will allow for the development of staffing models to address both in-person and remote learning, which will ensure a high-quality experience for all. Please complete the Learning Environment Selection in Skyward Family Access. Each family will complete the selection for each of their students.  Detailed directions to complete the selection form can be found at https://bit.ly/Q1Option.  If you do experience problems or have questions, you may submit a support request using our Skyward Survey Support Form. 

It is understood additional information would be helpful to some, but please base your selection on the information currently available. The selection submitted by August 7th is not final.  Families will have an opportunity to change the Learning Environment Selection after school plans have been shared.  School plans that will allow for in-person and remote learning will be shared in mid-August.

• August 12 - School Board Meeting Re-entry Presentation & Update; and
• August 13 - School-Home Communication to parents sent from your building principal outlining building schedules.

The district has created an additional Learning Environment Selection window to adjust your original decision, if you believe it necessary. Thank you in advance for your prompt participation.

NOTE: Families will have the opportunity to update their learning environment selection prior to each quarter for the 2020-2021 school year. See the selection process timeline details below.

2020-21 School Year

As the Cedarburg School District plans for the start of the 2020-21 school year, we are committed to keeping our families, staff, students, and community members informed. While there are still many uncertainties regarding what the upcoming school year will look like, we are hard at work to ensure our students continue to have access to a high-quality educational experience. 

These web pages serve as a hub for updates related to the reopening of our schools. Here, you will find information on potential school schedule changes, cleaning protocols in our buildings, health and safety measures, meal service procedures, and how we plan to provide students with access to technology. It also includes information on athletics and activities, along with answers to frequently asked questions as plans develop.

The situation surrounding COVID-19 is evolving with time. Key elements of the Re-entry Plan have been vetted with the Board and approved on July 29, 2020. We encourage you to keep checking back for the latest information. A final version of that plan can be found here.
