Give them some grace!!! They're trying to staff school with hundreds of students and staff out with Covid.

Nope. I don’t have a problem with them going virtual but don’t tell me they couldn’t send a notification before 8:01 (email) and 8:12 (text.)

Good Lord. How rigid are you? Are you 100 years old?

Text your 7th grader and tell him/her to turn around and come home. Not that hard.

That's not so easy for kids on the D30s buses

Absolutely. This is a real concern for those of us who live in Shepherd Park or other EOTP neighborhoods. The D31 picks up the kids between 7:20 and 7:30, so most were already at school when the message went out. There is no return bus from Deal to our neighborhood until 3:30, so now we have to leave work to go pick them up from school.

Yes, crazy want their children to go to school. Insane!

My 7th grader was in tears at the thought of having to go virtual last night. Virtual school is really tough on MS aged girls. This age is all about friends and socializing!

Just the girls, right?

So skip the virtual (we are) and let her meet up with friends outside today.

Do you think they are happy about this? They tried to keep kids in school which is the desired situation. They don’t have the staff.

So the kids turn around and go home. That’s life. What else do they have to do today? Not like you have big plans.

This is what comes of everything else being a higher priority to stay open: Gyms, restaurants, sporting events, concerts, malls, bars, airports and movie theaters are all wide open. Teachers aren't getting covid at school - they are getting it at non-essential services. Close everything else and keep schools - a vital service - open.

Absurd that people are still sending kids in to school in these conditions anyway. Serves them right.

NP. And how were they to know any earlier which teachers will be calling out today? How many substitutes are available or unavailable. You clearly don’t run a business, PP. This all takes time.

Was stopped by Principal Neal and was told there isn’t enough 7th grade staff to hold in person classes today. So those students are being sent home.
