Yealey Families -
I hope you've been able to enjoy the snow this week. It has been such a long time since we had snow like this to play in! I know my daughter is not happy - she loves playing in it and can't right now. She is doing great - on the road to recovery after the surgery last week. I truly appreciate everyone who sent well wishes our way.
As you may have heard, the board voted last night to return to four day a week instruction for all hybrid students beginning March 1st. They then plan to determine if five days a week can begin at the March 11th meeting based on the impact of the four days. The board was also informed that the guidelines of 6 feet social distance can not be followed in all areas of the schools. I want to be sure to give you a clear picture of what returning all hybrid students will look like here. If after reading this, you feel like you would like to switch your child from hybrid to virtual, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/aSo594QdH2K9VkJj9
We will be able to accommodate moving students to virtual but will not be able to move any students to in-person instruction. With all hybrid students returning four days a week we will:
- have to eat breakfast in the classrooms like we have been but there will be more kids in each room
- have more students in 14 out of the 22 homerooms than square footage allows to keep students 6 feet apart
- have students between 4-5 feet apart when eating lunch in the cafeteria and they will not all be facing one direction but will be facing each other.
- potentially will have to move students to new homeroom teachers. grade levels affected by this will be given the chance to volunteer for the move but if we don't receive enough volunteers students will be chosen. (no student that was chosen previously and has already moved this year will be moved again)
- buses will not have space to keep students 6 feet apart
