IMPACT OF COVID-19: Following local and state health recommendations, Webb School made the difficult decision to close its campus on March 23 and move to a virtual mode of learning. Prior to closing, we trained students in the tools they needed to successfully migrate to an online learning environment that continued through the end of the semester in May. There was never a question about our commitment to provide support, encouragement, and the very best educational experience possible, which we are still dedicated to today. Webb School maintained its academic and engagement expectations while adjusting the traditional learning model to meet the unique circumstances of each individual's needs. Classes were conducted face-to-face via live learning classrooms on a variety of digital platforms. Webb School has decided to return to an on-campus learning model this year, and while we still face challenges regarding COVID-19, our students have proven that they are adaptable, disciplined, and truly capable of creating a culture of interacting with others in a respectful and productive manner regardless of how we engage on a daily basis. Over the past several months, they repeatedly demonstrated a preparedness and eagerness to serve as leaders of character in our community and in tomorrow's ever-changing world.
