About the Plan
As Dr Eucker shared multiple times since the end of July, STEM’s ultimate goal has been, and will be, to safely return to full time in-person learning as soon as feasibly possible. Dr Weyman also shared during the Parent Q&A that we would follow DCSD’s directive of evaluating returning to in-person learning following Labor Day. STEM began the evaluation process following Labor Day and began putting into motion the steps needed to accomplish it safely.
Why the Progressive Rollout
We are NOT following DCSD’s plan to return to five-day a week in-person learning starting on October 19.
- We want to be as safe as possible while responding to the needs of our families.
- We also want to make the transition for our staff as smooth as possible.
- A progressive rollout allows for us to accomplish and meet the needs of both parties.
- Additionally, portions of the teachers’ schedules on Fridays allows for professional development to improve their instructional offerings, as well as making the original content that they are using in their instruction (videos/assignments).
- Taking that time away would not allow for them to provide the both in-person and Virtual/Online learners with a similar learning experience.

What do I do if...
I need to change my Academic Plan after I’ve already completed the Sign-Up Form?
To change your Academic Plan, please email Stephanie Webb (Stephanie.Webb@stemk12.org) the week prior to allow for the change to take effect.
I didn’t meet the deadline to sign-up and the form is now closed?
Your student will need to start the following week in your current Academic Plan. You will need to email Stephanie Webb (Stephanie.Webb@stemk12.org) to request a change in your Academic Plan and wait for her to follow up with you.
I received an email from my student’s LSS/ELD teacher?
Follow the instructions outlined outlined in the email. Our Elementary LSS and ELD teachers have been reaching out to families whose student’s IEP indicate that four-day in-person learning is needed.
My student has their supply kit at home?
Students who received supply kits for at-home work need to bring them with them to school for in-person work.
