The Future Ready Return to School Plan for the 2020-21 school year was developed with the health and safety in mind for WPS students, families and staff. The Wichita Public Schools continues to work with experts, monitor public health data, learn from peers and gather input from staff and families. All facilities will practice caution and social distancing, and focus on hand washing and cleaning protocols. Click here to read the Future Ready Return to School Plan. The plan's content is also available by category on the left side of the site.
We will closely monitor health conditions and be prepared to pivot in our planning and execution if warranted.
The first day of school for the 20-21 school year is Tuesday, September 8. Teachers will have time to collaborate and prepare for teaching and learning opportunities the weeks prior to the school year beginning.
