While nothing has officially been decided yet, the most likely model for a return to school will involve separating students into two groups, who will attend school on a rotating schedule to ensure that social distancing can be maintained while students are in class. This means that students will probably continue virtual learning, on some level.
 

For in-person instruction, the Planning Guide recommends that elementary students be kept in the same core group, which means that your child could spend all day with the same 10 students (or however many students are allowed in a classroom while maintaining social distancing). The Planning Guide also suggests cancelling all large gatherings (field trips, assemblies, etc.), suspending classes like choir or band that would require the removal of a face covering, staggering arrival and dismissal times, and increasing the amount of time students spend outside (as weather permits).
 

The hope is that in the fall, with your children attending school on at least a partial basis, your students will have more support and guidance. Additionally, lessons have been learned from the emergency suspension of school due to COVID-19, which will help teachers and students better navigate the upcoming school year.
