When health and safety allow, we plan to move into a model where all students would spend their time in the school building and resume a mostly normal school day schedule. This would involve enhanced cleaning protocols, adjustments to how students enter and exit buildings, and changes to how we manage lunch services. In this scenario, a remote-only learning option will be available for families who do not feel comfortable having their students return to school. A remote-only learning option will also be available for families in this phase.
Administrators will work closely with the North Shore Health Department to monitor public health statistics and develop indicators for the transition between phases. These metrics may include, but are not limited to:
- The seven day rolling average of percentage of positive cases in our community;
- The number of positive COVID-19 cases in area districts with blended and face to face models;
- Adequate staffing; and
- The number of positive cases for students and staff.
We understand that there are still many details that you have questions and concerns about. The administration is working diligently to pivot plans in light of this new decision from the school board, but wanted to give you as much notice as possible so you may make whatever adjustments your family needs to accommodate fully remote learning to start the year. Please know we are committed to ensuring all students have access to a high-quality educational experience while doing our best to keep our staff, students and families physically healthy.
