Have any families received guidance from their school districts yet on re-opening? We received preliminary information that our HS will re-open after Labor Day (normal). Monday will be an online learning day. One contigent of students attend classes Tues & Wed, then online/home learning. Other group will be at school Thurs & Fri.(assuming online/home Tue-Wed). Additional info is that classes will be socially spaced and masks at all times. Decontamination over the weekend.
While I am glad an effort is being made to get back to live instruction, I think a 3 day rolling effort would be better eg: Contigent 1 in school Monday, Contingent 2 on Tues, Clean Wed & online instruction, repeat Thur & Fri. Clean weekend. I think it would allow better and more useful interaction with teachers--review previous material, questions, introduce next topic, work at home, repeat. Would be more like a college schedule as opposed to 2 on 3 off. Hopefully admin has used time to procure good resources for online instruction. Spring was heavy review and prep for AP testing. It was not optimal but understandable due to emergency. I am concerned about starting all new material and how effective online instruction will be, particularly the lab sciences.
I would be interested to hear what is happening elsewhere around the country (this is South Jersey).
