| Major excitement! We can’t wait. One thing is puzzling. Classes of 22 will eat lunch together in classrooms. Is that safe? |

| To be unmasked in a school building DC requires 6 feet of space. Someone will bring it up. They will have to change that. |

It’s clearly written by OSSE
“ • Six feet of physical distancing is recommended for the following scenarios: o Betweenadults(teachers,staff,andessentialvisitors)atalltimesduringschooland school-related activities. o Betweenadultsandstudentsatalltimesduringschoolandschool-relatedactivities. 5 [UPDATED] Schools should flush water systems to clear out stagnant water and replace it with fresh water.

| People who don't like this plan should chose the virtual option. Not sure I see what the problem is. |

Correct. You have been given an alternative option, go virtual. Don’t send your kids, if you don’t like it. Stop trying to take school away from the rest of our kids ok |

+1000. In fact, the school has a great plan for this - they are creating all virtual classes with virtual teachers, so there are no more CARES classrooms scenarios and no simulcasting. It's about as close to normal school as you can possibly get. Of course, there are already a group of crazy parents who are trying to mess this up for everyone by complaining about this lunch situation and whining that their virtual kids will have to change teachers. There was one lunatic in particular on the Teams meeting last night making it all about herself. There is another vocal mom who could screw this up for everyone too who is ranting all over social media. Not everyone is going to be happy, but let's give Dr B major credit for putting this together. PLEASE DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ALL OF US!!!!! |

E-mail the Principal. She probably has good reasons in making these decisions. Let her explain to you why she feels this is safe. She is not reckless and wouldn’t do something stupid. |
