September 18, 2020 Update From Our Principal:

Dear School 16 Families,

Well...we did it! School 16 opened remotely on Monday, September 14th. Students and teachers are back together again, at least on video. Virtual learning can be complicated and frustrating at times—but our students, families, and staff are doing an incredible job! Mr. Wingo, Mr. Burns and I were able to join in all classes this week. So many smiles, a lot of laughter and learning going on! I am so proud of our school community working together with patience and kindness as we navigate this new way of learning.

As you know, teachers and students work together online Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. On Wednesdays, students work independently and all teachers are available to students and families for 2 hours to help with learning.

Don’t forget, School 16 is a Food Site for breakfast and lunch open 10 am to 2 pm.
