[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been reading quite a bit in the education press and in taking to some of our administrators about what the Fall might look like. From what I’ve gathered so far, it appears there are probably three options for the Fall: back to normal, distance learning, or a hybrid of the two. At this point most of the planning seems to be directed at a hybrid model.

I’m not saying this is the best or worst, just trying to create an outline of what might be the case this Fall, and welcome any other comments you might have heard from your school or administration. If you want to talk about Sweden, Malaria Pills, the Hoax, Trump, etc—please find the political forum and go at it over there so other parents can use this thread to help plan for the Fall.

The Hybrid Model:

Schools may start in early- or mid-August and go through Thanksgiving. There will be no Fall break, and any professional/training days for teachers may be pushed until after the holiday dismissal. There will be no in-person parent-teacher conferences, back to school events, or other social/academic gatherings to start the term.

Schools will reopen on a staggered schedule. This will either mean daily 1/2 days for all students (some AM, some PM) or more likely some kids at home one day and at school the next. Classes will be split into two sections. The kids at home would tune into class digitally while the other section attends the in-school lessons. Some families will have the option of all online school if for some reason they need to stay extra safe (elderly in the home, immunocompromised family member). One administrator suggested the sections would be geographically based to minimize bus/carpool arrangements, but added that it might be too complicated to coordinate.

No large assemblies in school. No chapel services for religious schools. Students will eat in their classrooms. Libraries opened on a rotating schedule or individual visits. Different grades will be on different class movement schedules so they don’t mix in the hallways. No after school care. After school athletics and physical education limited to social distance appropriate activities. No locker rooms. Children will be allowed to use the restrooms individually during class to avoid grouping up between classes.

Any other insight?
