[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grades 1-2 should have gone back March 2 and 3-6 go back March 9.[/quote]

It had something to do with wanting time to acclimate the kindergarteners, and maybe also something to do with the large number of monitors still needed for 3-6 (plug: apply to be a monitor if you can).[/quote]

Why do kindergarteners need several weeks in the building alone?

I have 2 kids in elementary and they had an hour orientation in the spring. They went to school on the first day of school like everyone else.

It isn’t like kindergartners are in the same classroom as 1st and 2nd graders.[/quote]

As the parent of a 1st grader, I don't mind the idea of giving kindergartners a long time to be introduced to school in the building  Some districts starts k-ers a week early in normal years -- this is basically doing that now.  Those poor kids have never been in the school building before, ever.  They've never met their teacher or classmates in person, ever. [/quote]

1st and 3rd grade parent here. At this point, I'm not quibbling over a week for each of my kids as long as they get in. A week is 2 days of instruction in-person. It's good, but it's not huge or anything. Let's just get the kids in the building and figure out how that works then aim toward 5 days in-person for every medically able student in fall.[/quote]
