Our district announced the K-6 plan yesterday. Full day schooling, in the building. 15 kids max to a class. Aftercare in each elementary building. No masks required for students as long as they are at their desk. Staff requires masks. Bus transportation, 1 kid to a seat. Temp checks. Now we wait on the secondary schools (who I know are getting the short end of the stick with a/b days, and some grades in the high school will only be remote I've heard)
School is happening on Long Island unless our number goes above 5 percent right? It's at 1 percent on Long Island as a whole, as of 4:30pm last night. So 99 percent of the people being tested for Covid are negative.
So if its one kid per bus where are they getting all these extra busses to get kids to from school?
In my district they are asking parents who don’t NEED the bus to drive their children. If you’re a sahm or dad or start work later, many can sacrifice the convenience of the bus and drive them kids, making more room on the bus.
I'm trying to imagine how large school districts are going to handle parents dropping off their kids. Longwood, for instance, has almost 3000 students! That's a lot of cars to handle. Connetquot has almost 2,000, and only one entrance. It's impossible to get out when just one grade has a concert or Open House.
I'm sure they're coming up with options, but things are going to be chaotic for a while....
I live in a small district. With that said, there are typically 3 to a seat I hear. My 7th grader has always been driven to school, so I will continue that. They are encouraging others to do the same.
Our district is looking at the same type of plan but also to have secondary in full days as well (with masks). Our plans won't be released until next week. The busing issue is difficult. The one to a seat has not been approved by the State yet but we are hoping that will be the case. Parents are going to be asked to drive their children. Schools are going to have to created staggered drop off and pick up times to avoid crowds. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes an hour in the morning and afternoon for drop offs.
So what happens if not enough parents agree to drop their kids off?
In my district, the elementary schools will then go to a A/B day schedule. My district is allowing for a fully remote option and it appears 25% of the district is taking that option.
We are basically the same. Can I ask what the remote option looks like? I can't see how there would be enough teachers to teach in person and also fully remote.
I dont know how its possible either. And even the a and b day schedule, who is teaching the kids those 3 days a week they are home? Our school did an awful job with distance learning already. Spanish instruction needs a teacher. Not YouTube videos like mine was directed to(not made by the teacher) I dont get how it will work. Seems ambitious
It is possible they are setting up live webcam for remote instruction? That is what my sons school is planning. So the teacher is teaching both in person and streaming live for remote students.

I honestly have no idea. They are officially releasing the plan on the 29th. They did day there will be live learning every single day.
I am a teacher in a different district and the hybrid model has me very anxious. I am not sure how planning will go for that. I will have students in my class that I am teaching, but on those days I am also suppose to be providing instruction for students at home. This is going to increase my workload by 100% essentially. I do not know how I will have enough time to plan and implement everything. At this point, I think I will do a "flipped classroom" model, where students watch the lessons online and then do the practice of skills in class where they can ask questions. My only fear is that some students will not do the online portion of the hybrid model and will require a lot of in-person instruction causing me to not be able to actually use the in-person time to its fullest potential.

Re: What's the plan for no school?
With the hybrid models - I think it will either be online/complete on your own time work with no 'live' instruction (unless it is pre-recorded videos) or maybe they will be live streaming the classroom. So some days the kids watch from in the classroom, and some days they watch from home. I have no idea what will actually be implemented but these ideas have been floated around in my educator circles.

What's the plan for no school?
My district here in NJ will not do live instruction via web due to privacy concerns for the other students that are in class.

This is what I have heard about live streaming.
Also there was privacy concerns with Zoom because Zoom is notorious for terrible security.
Cisco Webex and other video conferencing platforms are much more secure but way too expensive for schools

Districts can have parents fill out forms to allow for their children to be recorded. My district does this. The teacher could also have instruction filmed in such a way that only the PPT and/or teacher can be seen and not the actual classroom.
Most schools at this point have video conferencing available to them either through Google Classroom or Microsoft Office 365. If paid for by the district, they were vetted to meet ED law 2D and are secure.

I doubt it, we were told they couldn't even do zoom during remote learning when it began. And if they offer pre-recorded lessons that the kids watch on their at home instruction day, when are the teachers going to have time to actually record those lessons? The whole thing is weird to me. But, I guess we will see. I'm really against the whole a/b day thing though. I would have much preferred everyday for a half day. But, until my district releases the secondary school models, who knows. I also contemplated doing all remote if it's actual instruction. Not because I think my kid will be sick, but because I'm not a fan of the a/b model.

I believe every district is offering parents who do not want to send their children back a remote option. It works out beneficially for those who want their kids to return as there will be less kids in school. To each their own.

I don't think that is necessarily true. Our district just started allowing that option thhis week and it was because parents had to demand it. They have to let the school know within 2 weeks. Prior to that you needed a Doctor to sign off that you have a medical condition to not have to attend.

Interesting, but how can they NOT have a remote option? Very few are opening full time , most I've heard are bybrid, and all schools will need a contingency in case the numbers peak again. I just pray this time around the remote learning is more substantial than it has been.
One silver lining is that smaller class sizes may benefit the children more. I've always wanted the class sizes to be 15 or less.

They DO have a remote option but originally it was only being offered to those who had a medical condition and had to have their doctor sign off. Enough parents in the district were mad that they couldn't do 100 % virtual that they now offer it. They have a contingency plan in case they have to close it just wasn't being offered 100% of the time.

I don't know where you guys live, but my district has made no mention of any parental options. They have posted plans for either 1. 100% in-person school with masks/social distancing, 2. a hybrid model with a mix of in school and at home learning, and 3. 100% remote for all. This all is based upon risk level I assume.
There are NO options offered for parents to exercise.
I am not happy.

My district is not offering remote unless you have a documented, medical reason that requires it. If you’re otherwise uncomfortable sending your child to school, then you are required to homeschool on your own.

Re: What's the plan for no school?
Hearing all these different plans that aren't even concrete close to August makes me want to puke. These poor kids & parents. Freaking sad that these districts and faculties are still scrambling a month before school is suppose to start. Sad that CA is full remote and didn't even attempt to give all kids a chance.
I also feel bad for all those great teachers & staff who are going to have to work 10x harder to make this work. Lord help us come September.

Our plan is 5 day in person for elementary (unclear whether that means full day) and hybrid for secondary- every other day alternating btw in school/virtual learning.

What's the plan for no school?
Our district is planning for in person full time for k-5 (Being in cohorts) and hybrid for 6-12. There doesn’t seem to be an option for total distance unless your child has a medical condition that will prevent them from going back to the building. We’re supposed to be getting another email about that and transportation because they need to know who will be in the busses.

What's the plan for no school?
My old school district just announced all kids will be in school the full day, will be getting chrome books for each child k-6. All kids will be required to have a parent wait at bus stop for temperature screening and then the kids will be screened again when entering class room. The district is small so busses can be spaced as can classes. Class size is max 15. And kids can complete virtual assignments as needed. 7-12 no plan announced. I’m pretty surprised by this since my old district was a mix of incomes etc but I totally commend them. Only big change is the school day is shorter by an hour so I think 9-1:45 now

What's the plan for no school?
Our school district announced their plans this week.
For the hybrid it will either be A/B days or AA/BB days with Wednesday off for cleaning. On the 3 days the kids are home, they will have asynchronous learning (posted assignments, no interaction). K-1 will get to go 4x a week.
For the full remote it will be fully synchronous and the kids will be required to be online at certain times.
