Superintendent’s Message September 24, 2020

Phase I Beginning October 26th (after the end of first grading period on 10/21):

PreK classes will return 5 days a week.

Middle and High School Students will return on a 4-day schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Wednesday will be a digital learning day for students. Since middle and high schools have a large student population, school nurses will use this day for contact tracing. The system will also use this mid-week break to clean/disinfect without students in the buildings.

Note: If students are currently in hybrid, parents don’t need to do anything. If students are in digital learning and want to return to in-person, parents need to contact their child’s school.

Phase II Beginning November 30th:

Middle and High School Students will return to school on a 5-day traditional schedule.

I will continue to monitor the spread of COVID in our schools, so this plan is fluid. If the virus spreads in a grade level, or school, we may have to switch to a hybrid or distance learning schedule. With less social distancing, you may observe the number of quarantines increase on our weekly report. Also, teachers may require masks in classrooms that can’t social distance, or if the teacher has an underlying health condition.
