While Wakefield School is currently open for an in-person and on-campus opening, we are also accommodating needs for distance learning and preparing for possible interruptions to on-campus learning in the event local or state authorities advise or mandate a closure to our school or a portion of our school population. Should that occur, a shift to Distance Learning will happen immediately to ensure continuity for our students.
In preparation for possible interruptions to our in-person learning, our faculty and staff spent much of the summer investing time in blended learning models, training in new technologies and platforms to deliver the high-quality educational program one expects from Wakefield School. These preparations included increases in our 1:1 technology in grades JK – 8, enhanced webcams in all teaching classrooms, new platforms for teaching like the G Suite for Education Enterprise and SeeSaw, etc.
