Return to School Planning

What resources contributed to developing the Return to School Plan?

Information gathered from surveys: teacher/staff and parents Individual emails and phone calls from parents and staff members Social media feedback CDC and VDH guidelines VDOE Recover, Redesign, and Restart guidelines School/Department Subcommittees, and the Division Leadership Team Consultation with the local health department Consultation with regional instructional leaders and superintendents

CDC--The Risk of COVID-19 Spread Increases in School Settings as Follows:

Lowest Risk: Students and teachers engage in virtual-only classes, activities, and events.

More Risk: Small, in-person classes, activities, and events. Groups of students stay together and with the same teacher throughout/across school days and groups do not mix. Students remain at least 6 feet apart and do not share objects (e.g., hybrid virtual and in-person class structures, or staggered/rotated scheduling to accommodate smaller class sizes).

Highest Risk: Full sized, in-person classes, activities, and events. Students are not spaced apart, share classroom materials or supplies, and mix between classes and activities.

Our Values

We will continue to prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of students and staff as our priority at this time.

Literacy remains a top priority for our school division. We believe that quantity does not replace quality. We want to advance

learning goals and not promote "busy-work." We will incorporate the 5C's (critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, communication, and leadership), project-based learning (PBL), and/or performance based-assessments (PBA). The school division will support student learning during face-to-face meetings, office hours, phone calls, emails, and via online, downloaded, or printed materials.

Our Values

We will prioritize learning that is meaningful, responsive to the needs of this situation, considers where the learning is taking place, and does not reinforce inequities. Many students will not have consistent access to digital devices or the internet at home, or they may have to share devices with others in the household. Visiting public spaces to complete technology-based assignments may not be an option due to closures and social distancing guidelines or parent/guardian work schedules and limited access to transportation. Students may have competing demands on their time. Older students may be babysitting younger siblings while parents are at work. Students will be served equitably, regardless of income level, access to technology, English learner status, or special needs; and any learning gaps that occured because of the Spring 2020 closure will be addressed in the 2020-2021 school year.
