As you may be aware, both Parkway and Rockwood School Districts recently announced their return to school plans which includes a hybrid option consisting of a blended schedule of learning both at school and at home.
What this means for Community Ed
Given the need for both districts to maintain a healthy and safe learning environment for students that will include an enhanced daily cleaning schedule, at this time we will not be offering Community Ed in-person programs inside school buildings this fall. Although school buildings will not be available, we have identified the following options for programs this fall:- Online Programs - We have had good success with online programs this spring and summer and will continue with this platform for fall. Online programs will be done through Zoom. You must have the ability to use a device with a camera and a microphone. Community Ed can help get you training to use Zoom, but you must be able to do this on your own each week.
- Babler Outdoor Education Center - Community Ed has a partnership with Missouri State Parks to operate two facilities located within Babler State Park. This includes both indoor and outdoor facilities that provide a unique opportunity to deliver a broad range of programs including fitness, wellness, enrichment, art and outdoor education classes.
- Parkway/Rockwood Fields - limited opportunities are available to utilize elementary and middle school fields.
If you are a Collaborative Partner with your own facility, we would also be interested in exploring the option to offer programs at your facility.
Next Steps - Teaching With Community Ed this Fall
If you are interested in working with Community Ed this fall, please complete our
Fall Program Interest Form by
Monday, August 3. We apologize for the short turnaround time, however, we are working to finalize programs so we can begin our fall program as soon as possible.
Note: All instructors and collaborative partners must complete the
Fall Program Interest Form if you are interested in offering a class through Community Ed. Given the many changes to our program structure this fall, we will not default to previous year programs.
We appreciate all of our instructors and collaborative partners and look forward to working with you this fall.
We're always looking for individuals and organizations to join us in supporting lifelong learners. We offer programs for youth, adults and families throughout the year at Parkway and Rockwood School District locations.
We appreciate all of our instructors and collaborative partners and look forward to working with you this fall. Should you have any questions, please contact us at info@prcommunityed.org.
