[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our district has been in person since mid-August. We received a community report every Monday on the number of positive cases in the schools, broken down by ES, middle, and HS. The state in general has been flat in positive cases since then until very recently.

I would never have thought that we would make it this far into the school year in person. I thought for sure we'd be all virtual within the first three weeks. I was surprised to find that the strategies of distancing, tracking, and masks actually have worked. There have been positive cases in the school system but they are a tiny tiny percentage and there has been no community school spread. The school admins are on us all the time about these cases are coming from what we're doing on the weekends and we should cut it out.

The state, however, is starting to see a rise in cases. Why after doing okay for so long? I don't know but it's not the schools. The rise is uneven and concentrated in certain parts but it only takes a second to spread more widely.

There's a decent chance that we'll be all virtual for a while. Then, I expect that we'll go back in person and back and forth and so on. That's how this school year is going to be. I'm grateful that we've had this time in person. It really helps.[/quote]

I’m grateful we are home and safe from the virus, but glad it’s working out for you for a while![/quote]

You are aware that some people are essential workers and CAN'T be home, because they are doing things like your medical care, mail delivery, stocking your grocery store, ect...what should their kids do? (ps the answer is going to school).[/quote]

Seems like one option is like what they did for daycares in the spring- offer in person to essential worker families only. Although school is not childcare I could support something like that. Or grants to hire college students to supervise DL.  At age 8 kids can stay by themselves anyway so really it would just be for K-2.[/quote]
