Aps: can we follow fcps and go back 4 days/week in April?

[Anonymous]

Yes please

My child is in high school and I would love for her to be back 4 days a week but I would give that up if they sent younger kids back 4 days a week. There are so many little kids in APS that are falling through the cracks that really need to be in school.

APS needs to get on it! Unfortunately, it is clear no one on staff even considered the possibility of anything other than two day hybrid for this year. They all blindly thought they were done with two day and could lolligag around until July and then start thinking about a goal of five days. I’m disgusted by Duran and Loft and the entire SB.

FCPS is rapidly walking this back as far as they can.

Not a surprise and not the first time they have had to backtrack this year. I'm thankful our leaders have been thoughtful in their approach instead of the yoyo plans. It might be what I want, but I can trust they do what they say.

Insanity. Do people actually think CDC will go lower than 3 feet in school? If they don’t, APS is essentially saying we can’t be full time in the fall. Parents, we need to push now that this is unacceptable. Maybe some kid from APS who went to TJ could show them how to optimize classroom seats? Because they clearly can’t figure it out.

Oh, FFS. By the fall, there will be herd immunity and the schools will reopen. Stop being such a pain in the a**.

They are not walking it back. Anyone who read the first email carefully knew that the return was limited and based on each schools ability to meet the requirements.

"Starting the week of April 20, FCPS will:

Offer four days of in-person instruction to PreK-12 students whose families identified a preference for in-person instruction since fall and are already attending two-days in-person with consideration of the school’s capacity, staffing, and associated current level of community transmission.
Contact families of students eligible to return under this scenario during the week of April 13.
Expand bus transportation for those already attending in-person starting the week of April 20.

Individual schools will provide families/caregivers with additional details pertaining to these opportunities.

The transition will undoubtedly look somewhat different in every school and vary widely as each school has varying in-person attendance. There are also space and staffing challenges at each school, and in each classroom, and these are factors that impact the ability for each school to welcome back additional students to in-person opportunities."

It was clear that this was not an automatic thing and that there were going to be schools, potentially classes, that would be handled differently. FCPS dumped this mess on the Principals.
