[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know y’all thought it was about bulletin boards, but it was to practice keeping children safe.

From the article:

The time also would have allowed the staff to “practice compliance with protocols, finalize student schedules and transportation, and address the myriad of other details that will have to be finalized,” Smith wrote.

The preparations are especially important, Smith wrote, because the first students scheduled to return to buildings are generally the youngest — “some of whom have never navigated a school building before” — and students who need significant support from employees.

“The waiver of four days will allow staff to complete this important work without requiring divided attention from virtual instruction and support for students,” Smith wrote. “This waiver of four school days is critical to success for opening school buildings.”[/quote]

We have already decided we won’t send our kindergartner into the building for the first week or two because it’s going to be such chaos. They won’t be able to figure out dropoff and getting the kids into classrooms without a cluster of adults and children all over each other.[/quote]
