RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT: School Year To Start Fully Online

Virtual

Renton School District issued the following announcement.

Based on continued increase in COVID-19 cases notably among young people throughout the region and specifically in South King County, Renton School District will begin the 2020-2021 school year on Sept. 2 with fully in-home learning. 

At this time, we cannot predict how long we will remain in the in-home learning model. Our goal is to begin in-person instruction in our hybrid in-school/in-home model when public health authorities advise that it is safe. At that time, families will have the option to continue remaining with in-home learning if they choose. 

We continue to work to improve in-home learning and communication between students and teachers, including:

  • more live instruction,
  • small group support,
  • fewer learning platforms, and 
  • more consistent communication between teachers and students.
In addition, teams will collaborate with families to address the needs of students with disabilities and special learning needs. We are working with our bargaining partners now and will soon provide more details on the specifics regarding improvements to in-home learning.

Please read more and remain connected to this work on our 2020-2021 School Year Reopening Plan website .
