RE: Elementary Schedule Change
Greetings,
As we are sure many of you are aware, we are forecasted for a major snow event starting Wednesday afternoon through until Thursday morning. The current timelines could create complications for getting students home on Wednesday and to school on Thursday. We have decided to use this weather challenge to prepare for what may need to become virtual days in the future. As of today our COVID count for our rolling 14 day average at the elementary school is at zero, but we know a number of you are dealing with it first hand and that at some point we may need to be virtual at school.
So please see our plans below:
- Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 16th will be a staff only day to do final preparations for being virtual. Students will not be in attendance.
- Thursday, December 17th will be a “Practice Virtual Day”. We will ask all students who are capable to participate in our first virtual day. Teachers will be sending out information to their classes tomorrow as to what expect on Thursday. Students will be working remotely from home for this virtual format. This is intended to help us learn what works and what doesn’t work so well.
- School will resume on Friday, December 18th. It is a scheduled B day. The students are expected to be in school through Wednesday, December 23rd. This will give each group, A and B, two days to complete work before the Christmas break and any planned Holiday activities accordingly.
- School is then scheduled to return on Monday, January 4th. We will start the return to school with Group A on that day.
- The PTO fundraiser is still scheduled to be picked up Thursday from 4 – 7 pm.
I would encourage you to please contact your school office with additional questions.
Sincerely,
Terry W. Struble, Superintendent tstruble@clearfield.org
