Had the great privilege to present all of the great things we do at Winston at AMLE 2020 #WinstonxAMLE20 #AMLE2020 #AMLE20

[Winston Campus Junior High @WinstonCampus]

Over the last two days, we had students come back into the building after a seven month hiatus.

Students returned in a concurrent model, with two different groups coming every other day, while a third group always stays virtual.

Our Climate and Culture Team met this morning to plan to continue the joyful student experience that we've had up to this point. Student leaders were able join us remotely, and staff was able to participate in person (social distancing) and virtually.
