[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand why teachers and staff want to be vaccinated. I have attended all of the meetings for my kids and think opening can be done safely in the classroom. I can’t get over cafeterias. Both of the schools are planning lunch in cafeterias. How can he say schools are relatively safe, as I just heard on the press conference, when all of those unmasked kids are eating together?  Is indoor dining in restaurants now safe? [/quote]

[b]Eat in the classroom where kids are 6ft apart and kids are staying in place. [/b]Face shield to offer at least some protection.

[b]Use the cafeteria as extra space for the overcrowded classrooms to spread out. [/b][/quote]

Yep, this is what our kid's private has been doing since October.  So far, no cases.[/quote]

Our ES plans on using a mix of the cafeteria if there are just a few grades in and classrooms when more hybrid kids are in to maximize distancing during lunch. Only one class would be in the cafeteria at a time and all very spread out, with tables rotating.[/quote]

My daughter's private K has everyone eat lunch outside, period. If it is rainy, then they go under the overhang. Freezing weather = warmer clothes. There are solutions to the lunch issue if we are creative enough.[/quote]

I like that idea. I really do. But knowing parents, there will be so many complaints that their child is too cold that there is no way that there will be any consistency with this class to class let alone school to school. 
When the weather improves, I hope more schools can take advantage of outdoor space. [/quote]
