Lynden School District students in grades kindergarten through second will start in-person instruction the week of Monday, Oct. 12.
The updated school re-opening information was relayed to families and staff on Sept. 25 by Superintendent Jim Frey in the letter “Delay in Reopening School.”
In a previous communications, Frey said that in-person learning for kindergarteners through second-graders in “Option 1” (start with distance learning and shift to in-person learning model) would start on Monday, Oct. 5.
“Moving the start date for in-person learning is necessary due to the extraordinary planning and training needed to ensure our staff and schools are up to speed on all the protocols, practices, and expectations that are necessary for schools to open,” Frey said in the updated letter.
“Additionally, staff have been fully engaged with planning, preparing and facilitating distance learning and they need a few more days to get ready to have students in their classrooms.”
Third- through 12th-graders will return to in-person learning incrementally, the letter said.
