[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an Mcps teacher and parent, with my oldest transitioning to middle school. I 100% understand your anxiety about the unknown. Consider this though, teachers will return for preservice on 8/24. At that point we (teachers) will find out what the expectations and schedules are. Some principals will get input from their staff before finalizing and publishing exact schedules. That’s a good thing. I would rather that the teachers, who will be responsible for delivering instruction, have a hand in making the final schedule. A schedule that reflects teacher input is much more likely to be successful and less likely to have to be revamped after school has started. 
It means that parents and students are going to have to hang tight a little longer. I know it sucks. Normally I’d be able to tell my new 6th grader what to expect, but he understands that this is not normal and we will have to be extra patient. At my house we are focusing on the things we do know (the draft reopening plan) and making fun plans around that (finding fun office supplies and decor, some cozy blankets and slippers and thinking of ways to see friends after school hours). We’re also embracing the idea that we won’t have all of the September stress that we usually have with readjusting to school/work/sports schedules. [/quote]
