WELCOME FROM ROGER Dear Parents and Students, For over a year we have been praying for your children, the students attending WOLBI for the 2020-2021 school year. When COVID-19 became a pandemic, we began to earnestly ask the Lord to go before us. We are thanking God for his faithfulness, and we are pleased to share at this time we are approved, planning and prepared to open our campuses in New York and Florida. It is with much excitement that we share our overall plan and response to COVID-19. This website and documentation is highly focused on our New York campus. As we have further details concerning our Florida campus, that information will be released. Our approach has been and will continue to be one of responsibility and reasonableness throughout this planning and implementation process. Ephesians 4:1-2 has served as a guiding passage for us during this time, “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love”. During this time and beyond, we can live in way that glorifies God, serve one another in humility, patience, and caring and prefer one another in love. As a faculty, staff and student body we have the opportunity to make much of Jesus even with our response to COVID-19.
Our plan supports and implements the policies set forth by the New York State Higher Education Guidelines and the local Department of Health. Responsibility to the government is a biblical mandate and we fully intend to honor and respect our authorities. We have also sought to be reasonable in our approach. For non-mandated policies (recommendations), we have taken the approach of implementing the recommendations in a safe and reasonable manner– strengthening our position of protecting one another by preferring one another. As you prepare to send your student to study in the Schroon Lake area of upstate New York, I want to assure you that I cannot think of a safer location. The combination of our rural setting and the outstanding health network in our area provide for a high quality of life and safety. As we practice social distancing, frequent washing of hands, face-coverings and good citizenship, we will see our area remain a safe location. Upon arrival, every student will be provided with a COVID-19 Preparedness Kit, which will include a water bottle to use at our filling stations, facemasks, hand sanitizers and a few other surprises. This is one of the ways we plan to help and encourage students to maintain good hygiene practices.
The theme of our COVID-19 Response Plan is “Protecting One Another by Preferring One Another”.
Understanding this has been a challenging time in our nation and world, Word of Life Bible Institute is pleased
