APW Goes Virtual Until November 30

ALTMAR-PARISH-WILLIAMSTOWN – Beginning today, the APW Central School District has switched to online only instruction until November 30.

The superintendent sent out the following letter to families yesterday:

Our APW school community is experiencing some positive cases of COVID-19. As of today, those who have had close contact with an infected employee have been contacted by the Department of Health and put under mandatory quarantine.

Our top priority is the safety and security of our students and staff members. Due to the possibility of possible future spread, we have made the decision to pivot to 100% remote instruction beginning tomorrow (Wed., 11/18.) We will return to our Hybrid Instruction model on Monday, November 30, 2020. Our plan for 9-12th graders to begin changing classes will now begin on Dec. 3rd.

We have made this decision under an abundance of caution and in an attempt to limit exposure to the virus. Transportation to and from school and out-of-district programs will begin again on Monday, Nov. 30th.

All district instructional programs will pivot to remote instruction including:
• Citi BOCES A+ Autism programs (K-6) (APW Campus)
• Citi BOCES A+ Autism (High School) (Fulton)
• Bridges (Oswego)
• CARE (Scenic Ave, Mexico)
• Middle School STRIVE (Central Square Middle School)
• High School STRIVE (Mexico Campus, Citi BOCES)
• CTE (Mexico Campus, Citi BOCES)
• PTECH (Mexico Campus, Citi BOCES)
• CTE Advantage (Mexico Campus, Citi BOCES)
• TASC (Mexico Campus, Citi BOCES)
• New Visions (Oswego)
• Elementary STRIVE (Lura Sharp Elementary, Pulaski)
• Elementary Alternative Program (Lura Sharp Elementary, Pulaski)
• Stepping Stones, Day Treatment (Fulton)
• Make Sense Shop (Pulaski)
• Alternative Center (Pulaski)
• Onondaga Community College/OCC (Syracuse)
• Rome School for the Deaf (Rome)

Parents needing Tech support—our experts will be on hand tomorrow (Wed., 11/18) in the cafeteria from 10am – noon to help you with your questions.

Your students will need to check their regular learning platform (ie. Google Classroom, See Saw) to learn more about what their teacher’s expectations are until Nov. 30th. I encourage parents to email teachers with questions and any concerns about your child’s instruction during this time – and any time!

Proud to be a Rebel!
Lynn K. Rhone, Superintendent
