School Update
Yesterday was very exciting day for Wesley. All of our teachers returned to the building from being out for the last 14 months.
We plan to survey our families next week about their intention to return back to in person learning in the fall.
Still exploring virtual options if families select to be virtual in the fall. Coordinating with APS as well.
Testing is much different this year but it has been going well.
Due to the hybrid schedule, the testing window is longer this year.
