The Stevenson-Carson School District says its entire sixth grade class will make their return to Wind River Middle School with full-time school starting on November 4.  The district recently made the decision to reopen the school, which had been closed since 2012, after determining the need for additional space and a dedicated facility for sixth to eighth grade students outweighed the financial savings stemming from its closure.  The district says when the sixth graders return to in-person classes…it will be among the first in Washington State to see the return of all students in grades K-6 to full-time in-person learning.  The district says to meet health department guidelines staff designed a plan separating the middle school’s gymnasium into sixth grade class “pods” using dividers to allow for appropriate social distancing.  Wind River will reopen on a reduced daily schedule similar to the one planned for use by Carson Elementary in order to provide custodial staff with additional time to ensure deep and thorough cleaning of the facility following each school day.  Families with sixth grade students who prefer to remain with distance learning can opt to stay with Stevenson-Carson Learning Link, the district’s distance learning program.
