Chewelah School Board approves plan for high school to open four days a week
The Chewelah School District Board of Directors approved the Jenkins administration plan to bring back ninth through twelfth grade students four days a week, Tuesday-Friday, beginning on Tuesday, April 20.
Much like the junior high students, who will return four days a week on Tuesday, April 13, Mondays will still function as a remote learning day.
Juniors and seniors who are in a Running Start program or are working will need to contact Mrs. Fisk or Mrs. Bigler in the counseling office to create an individualized academic plan.
