Hello Wenonah Families,

We are reaching out to clarify information you have received from MPS regarding in-person support for students in need as we gradually transition to limited in-person learning as part of "Phase 3: Hybrid Learning with In-Person and In-School Supports." 

MPS is planning on GRADUALLY introducing Phase 3 (in-person student supports) during the second quarter. While the second quarter begins Nov. 9, planning for these supports will take some time. Programming will actually start AFTER Nov. 9, but during second quarter if health indicators allow. Identifying students, transportation and staffing all need to be determined before any students can be welcomed back into schools.

Every year principals in Minneapolis share a "State of the School" presentation with families. It has updates on our school for this year, including our "School Improvement Plan", which documents our annual goals and strategies for student success. Please view the presentation and then join the Principals’ Q & A this Thursday if you have thoughts or questions. You can also contact our Family Liaison Jill.kilibarda@mpls.k12.mn.us if you have any questions.

We have launched a new resource for Wenonah students and families to get support during the school day. You can visit our Check & Connect virtual classroom anytime Mon-Fri 10am-3pm to talk live with Wenonah staff. That means anytime during the asynchronous parts of our school day you or your student can connect instantly to someone who is live and ready to help via Google Meet. In addition, you or your student can visit this room at specific times to talk live with Principal Wright or our Social Worker Jennifer Frisbie. And if your student just needs a little break, they can visit the room to access calming activities, read-alouds, and movement breaks. (Be sure you are logged in with an MPS email address to make it easier to access the live Google Meet calls.)

We want to hear how Distance Learning is going for your family! Please leave us a comment about what is going well and what could be better. Distance Learning is so new for all of us and we will continually adapt based on student and family experiences.

Check out our new staff Video Directory! Each of our staff members have made a short video to say hello and explain their role at Wenonah. We want you to have a way to get to know of all us even though you can't see us in the school hallways right now.

Birth documents and immunization records are both required before a student starts at an MPS school for the first time. Click the header for details.
