[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m highly debating just pulling my ES child out and planning to homeschool the first quarter.

Unless I see a better plan to keep kids safe that are months(possibly weeks) away from being vaccinated, I’m not sending him.

Was your ES in school in spring?

Are you able to keep your ES kid in an environment with < 2% spread?[/quote]

I hope that ES maintains the low transmission rate from the spring when there was distancing. Looking at what is happening in school districts in the south that mandate masks, I’m not confident.  And FCPS’ plan is masks and vaccines. So for the ES kids, that’s just masks. And not social distancing while eating or snack.

The FDA is supposed to announce a plan for boosters next week.

They don’t really learn much the first quarter anyways.  Hopefully I’m wrong and my kid will be able to rejoin school in October.

At this point, it’s not worth it for one

Fun fact: there was not actually much distancing in ES. Many teachers on here have confirmed this was true at multiple schools. It just wasn't possible.

I believe you.

However, schools were not full, many only had 30% of their normal population in person on any given day.  [/quote]

Our ES had about 60-70% back, I believe, 4 days a week but classes were divided by in-person and virtual so while the building was not full, my kids each had 25+ kids in their classes.  I saw pictures from one of their classes on a teacher tweet and they were packed in their like sardines.  Not touching elbows or anything, but I am talking 3ft from nose to nose so the actual space between shoulders was like a foot maybe.  No cases in our school after upper ES when back in March or when they went to 4 days in April (interestingly, there were a few when they had far fewer kids in the building).  [/quote]
