Edmonds School District planning to offer full-time in-person learning option this fall Posted: May 12, 2021 66
The Edmonds School District is planning to return students to full-time in-person learning at the start of the 2021-22 school year, according to district leaders.
At the Edmonds School Board of Directors’ May 11 business meeting, Superintendent Gustavo Balderas said the district intends to offer students the option to return to in-person leaning five days a week or stay 100% remote.
“Our goal is to have as many of our kids as possible to come back to our campuses,” he said.
According to Balderas, staff are still working out the details for remote learning, but added that online learning will look different for elementary, middle and high school grade levels. The logistics of returning students to school buildings full-time will be based on guidance from the Washington State Department of Health.

OLYMPIA, Wash. The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has expanded COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to everyone 12 and older following recommendations that the Pfizer vaccine is safe and effective for 12 to 15-year-olds.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup voted on Wednesday night to recommend it for immediate use.
“Expanding eligibility to this younger age group protects our children and gives families peace of mind. It is the best step we can take as parents to ensure our kids remain in the classroom, can safely spend time with friends, and take part in sports and extracurricular activities,” said Umair A. Shah. MD, MPH. “Research continues to show this vaccine is safe and I am thrilled it is now an option for parents and their young teens.”
