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.
