4/8 Work Distribution Communication
COVID-19/Distance Learning for All

Hello, WLA Families! 

*Update* Governor Kate Brown announced that schools will remain closed for the rest of the school year. WLA has been working on finalizing our Distance Learning plan, which anticipated the closure lasting through the rest of the school year. We will be communicating more details in the next week as we receive further guidance from ODE.

We will be doing another round of work distribution via our buses on Monday, April 13th. Going forward, we will be continuing this every Monday for the remainder of the school year. If you would like to continue submitting and receiving work electronically, we are happy to support that decision. If you haven’t communicated that to us yet, please do so.

We have updated some of the times at the distribution sites after the feedback we received from our last distribution. If you need to adjust your choice from the previous distribution, please email the changes you would like to make to COL Nunes (knunes@wlacademy.org). If you want your choice to remain the same, then there is no need to email. We will proceed with the same information families gave us last time, unless we hear differently from you. Please have any updates emailed in no later than 10:00am on Friday, April 10th. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScigdl_RWExHsdpWlurfBM4uHD3V7o8D2WjGB5HoR4H27XIIA/viewform?usp=sf_link

For this round of work distribution, we will also have the option for students to “check out” library books. Please use this Google Form to request a book from our library (2BN cadets are welcome to use our 1BN library - we have a big variety of choices!). Again, please make your requests no later than 10:00am on Friday, April 10th. Cadets can also return previously checked out books at this distribution as well.

Hello, WLA Families! 

This message may be long, but it is useful information! Please remember you are always welcome to email any questions you have (knunes@wlacademy.org). Our Headquarters office will be closed for Spring Break next week (March 23rd - 27th), but you may also call in and leave a message (541-246-2840).  Calls will be returned in the order received beginning on Monday, March 30th.

  • If your family is struggling in any way, or has needs that WLA can help with, please reach out to us! We will do what we can to help support you! Please see the attached Community Resources page for available resources, or reach out and we will do our best to help.
  • If you or your Cadet are a Facebook user, please “like” or “follow” our page! We will be using the WLA Facebook page as a hub of useful information, connection, and communication. We will continue with emails as well. Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/WLA-Willamette-Leadership-Academy-2233769613570789

Bus Distribution/Collection of Work - APRIL 3RD
  • On Friday, April 3rd, WLA Drivers and Staff will be at specific stops along our routes to collect work that was handed/sent out on March 13th.  Click here for the distribution schedule.  This work will go into the grade books for Quarter 3.
    • Quarter 3 will now end on Friday, April 9th. 
    • Finals for 1BN will not happen this quarter.
    • Please do your best to help your Cadet get any outstanding work submitted on the 3rd. Staff will offer grace and flexibility with our Cadets and families when it comes to final grades. 
    • If anyone in your household is ill, please submit work electronically, or communicate with staff if you are unable to do that so arrangements can be made.
  • During this distribution, work for the next two weeks will be distributed to Cadets and families.
    • Some staff will have a mix of digital and paper curriculum. Please watch for emails from both COL Nunes and individual staff with what assignments are being sent out and distributed. 
    • This will be work for Quarter 4.
    • If anyone in your household is ill, please submit work electronically, or communicate with staff if you are unable to do that so arrangements can be made.
    • School library books will also be available for check out. Please bring back any previously borrowed books if you have them.
  • Attached are two documents that list both Battalions’ Staff, the classes they teach, and their emails for easy contact. Please feel free to email teachers directly if you have questions about work that has been assigned.
  • Included in this email is a link to a Google Form which asks you to identify your Cadet(s), letting us know which distribution stop your family will use to drop off and pick up work. If you are unable to access the Google Form, please email COL Nunes (knunes@wlacademy..org) the information. This will greatly help us make sure we have enough of the correct work or copies at the appropriate drop off-site. Link: https://forms.gle/ohCzz78rGe9UuA7m9
