SWCA Message Regarding the 2020-2021 Start of School

Dear SWCA Families,

SWCA is committed to providing the best Career-Technical learning experience possible without compromising the health and safety of our students and staff. We understand that the recent move to Remote Learning 2.0 has brought up a number of questions and we hope this letter provides some clarification. We want to reiterate that SWCSD believes that the best way to learn technical skills is in a face-to-face environment.

Our goal is to provide the same quality CTE curriculum, industry credential standards, and college credit in each of our programs. We understand that we may need to be creative in how we offer technical skills training. We are working with our CTE instructors, district personnel, and our various industry partners for guidance and support. Please understand the district's goal is to have students engaging in face-to-face instruction as soon as data shows it is safe and practical to do so.

With our goal of face-to-face instruction, all SWCA CTE students should order their respective uniforms and be ready for in-person instruction when feasible. We understand there is uncertainty, and please know we will continue to provide effective Career-Technical instruction throughout these changing times.

In the upcoming weeks we will be providing more information regarding programs, technology, courses, and logistics (including material distribution). Please pay close attention to our website and your email as this will be the quickest and most effective way for us to communicate with you and our student(s).

If you have any questions please feel free to contact any one of the following Career-Technical administrators:
