Dear WSSA Families,
The Winston campus will be closed until May 4th as our students continue distance learning.
As a reminder, Friday, April 10th is Good Friday, and there will be no class or online instruction.
Any changes to the current or future schedule will be announced on the school’s website and by email.
We appreciate all of the feedback we have received as a school community during this unprecedented time. Distance learning and the use of technology to keep our students engaged has been a new adventure for each of us, and we appreciate your cooperation as we work to make the best of a difficult situation.
We recognize that many of our Winston families may be undergoing stress and uncertainties related to the shifting economy. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees and I are sympathetic to those challenges. We want to make sure that parents understand that the school also has financial commitments that must continue to be fulfilled, including paying the salaries and benefits for staff and teachers, costs to maintain necessary curriculum and technology, and growing maintenance costs.
Therefore, the Executive Committee agreed that there would not be any reduction in tuition payments for this year. The Executive Committee did state that if a family has experienced a loss in income due to the COVID-19 crisis and has further questions, the family should contact me directly, and I will consult with the Finance Committee on a case by case basis.
If there are any questions or concerns regarding distance learning, please contact your teachers directly. Steve Yocham and Louise Pastorino are also available to assist you if needed.
Please contact me if I can be of any assistance, and I wish everyone a Happy Easter.
Sincerely,
Charles J. Karulak, Ed.D.
