REACH is now in three school districts

The beginning of November signals a quarter change for all of our schools. For some of our students, this means a transition to a different required REACH class. Not all students transition, though, as many of our REACH classes are either a full semester or year long.

For our students at Winona Senior High School, they have completed either Business Communications or Health Care Core Curriculum. These are the courses where the bulk of the soft skills training occurs. We want our new juniors fully prepared to enter our local businesses, both with soft skill and safety training. Both Lewiston-Altura and Wabasha-Kellogg hold their business communication class in the spring semester so these same skills will be taught to these students.

With a shift to distance or hybrid learning (or both, back and forth), our local businesses have stepped up to offer support to our educators in a number of specific ways. The most helpful resource, to date, is the Educator Resource page on our Business Education Network website. Thank you to the following businesses for providing videos for this career exploration resource:
