Westonka Public Schools Distance Learning Plan

Westonka Public Schools intends to provide instruction to students when schools are closed due to the threat of COVID-19. Distance learning will primarily be accomplished through the use of online learning and district-issued devices, such as Chromebooks and iPads. This will require the full cooperation of students, teachers and parents/guardians to make this instruction meaningful and in compliance with Minnesota statutes.
