BELLEVUE SCHOOL DISTRICT: Back to Buildings Update

Update

Bellevue School District issued the following announcement.

Current Stage: Stage 2 Remote Learning

Bellevue School District has a plan to have students and staff safely return to buildings over the course of six stages . These stages are based on public health guidelines.

We are currently in Stage 2: Remote Learning .

As of November 8, there are 212 positive COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in King County in the past 14 days.

What's New: Wednesday Learning Changes

To provide educational support and access to students Wednesday mornings will become synchronous, or learning in real-time with educators, beginning November 18.

Elementary students will now have up to 90 minutes of Wednesdays for learning time available for synchronous instructional time, with the remainder staying as asynchronous time.

For secondary students, the rotating Wednesday class schedule and times will change from asynchronous to synchronous time.

In October, Bellevue School District announced that school buildings will not be fully open for learning until January 2021 at the earliest. Any decision at that time will be subject to review of the health data conditions for King County. Until then, most students will continue with remote learning until public health allows the district to open our buildings. We will give families two weeks' notice to progress between stages, and the district continues to work with our students, families, and staff to find ways to foster opportunities to connect in person and online.
