[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One advantage that ITDS has is a newly renovated basement area which will eventually allow for expansion.  Since that expansion hasn't happened yet, it should permit them to open with social distancing AND accommodate more students than they could otherwise accommodate.

We are one of the lucky ITDS families who is currently sending their kids to do virtual learning at the school.  We families AND the school are working out the kinks in how to manage the logistics of masks, figuring out how to avoid parents entering the building, getting nap stuff into the school carried by preschoolers.  I know it seems silly to open with such a small number of children, but opening with a larger number would have been rocky.  Every aspect of school, from arrival to lunch to dismissal involves more work and staffing, so I believe them when they say it takes time to work it out and they will open to more students soon.

It's natural to feel impatient, and until my family got the call we were feeling the same way.  We were figuring out contingency plans for the fall if the school couldn't get it together.

But I have always had a great experience with the administration of ITDS (even if their communication with parents involves few all-school communications and always has.)[/quote]

It’s obvious that above post is ITDS admin. chiming in because ITDS doesn’t listen to parents.  It’s all for show and they do what they want to do.[/quote]

This.  I have been emailing admins all week trying to learn anything at all about reopening.  So yay for you with your spot, but the rest of us are 100% in the dark about it.  They DGAF about parent communication and it could not be more clear.  Today I learned they haven't told the teachers anything either.  No wonder so many teachers have quit this school.

I am hearing that the reopening will be super slow and big kids won't be in the classroom at all this year.[/quote]

Wow that’s insane.  The 1st step after having a plan is getting input and buy in from teachers.  Sounds to me like they are just starting to think about logistics and just starting a plan now. Doesn’t sound too promising then that many kids will be back this spring aside from the 20 experimental ones .[/quote]
