School Operations Update 5.7.21

 Toledo Schools remain in regular order Monday through Thursday with no plans to return to hybrid or remote. Students are benefiting from increased in-person instruction time and no cases of COVID have been documented in our schools since March. We continue to social distance, mask and practice hand hygiene as more people in our county are choosing to get vaccinated.

We are still hopeful that we will be able to provide a "Summer to Remember" program in the last two weeks of July. This recreationally-focus program would get kids together for socializing, learning and enjoyment. Watch for more information on this event coming soon.

Most districts in Washington are experiencing a shortage of bus drivers. Toledo is no exception. Because of this, we will be continuing a staggered start for school next year. By doing so, we will keep route times under 1 hour, prevent bus overcrowding and reduce bus behavior problems. Next year's school hours will be:

School	Drop off	Class starts	Dismissal
TES	7:40	8:00	2:30
TMS	8:40	8:50	3:20
THS	8:50	9:00	3:30

Our thanks to everyone who participated in the recent survey that went out. 

Commencement for Cowlitz Prairie Academy will be on June 11 and THS will be on June 12.  Both schools will observe in-person events with reduced occupancy. Consult your student's school for details on these important events.
