2021/2022 Welcome Message from Superintendent Roberts
It is my sincere pleasure to welcome everyone back to another exciting school year at Wishram School District #94. While we know that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create issues both within our community and across the state, we are ecstatic about what we've been able to accomplish in the face of adversity. From the beginning of this school year, we have welcomed our students back to in-person learning every day, and even though there have been challenges, we have successfully kept our doors open. We strongly believe in doing whatever it takes to continue in-person learning, and we will continue to employ our viral transmission mitigation efforts such as masking, social distancing, and daily sanitizing routines to maximize our opportunities to provide a safe and effective learning environment for all students and staff.
Beginning this school year, we have some exciting new programming offerings for our 6th-12th grade students including: Reading for Pleasure, Economics, Art, Weight Training, and Career and Technical Education. With these courses added to our existing offerings, we are consistently creating a more comprehensive learning experience for our students in the rural and remote setting of Wishram. We believe that students in rural and remote settings are more vulnerable to the opportunity and access gaps, and the majority of our decision making is carried out with the goal of narrowing those gaps at every conceivable angle. We'd like to thank our gracious community for their continued support of our annual levy that makes this work possible.
In closing, I must say that I'm very proud of where we are as a district right now. We have handled unprecedented difficulty without ever taking our minds off of our students, while working collaboratively to provide instruction in the face of a pandemic that has disrupted life as we know it. We love the work we are able to carry out in Wishram School District #94, and we will continue to do everything that we can to help ensure that our students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. The best is yet to come.
-Mike Roberts
Superintendent
