Roadmap to Re-Entry

2020-2021

Updated August 3, 2020

Our Commitments

EMPOWERING LEARNERS, ENGAGING COMMUNITY, ENRICHING THE WORLD

Safety Flexibility Instruction

Student and stafg safety is a top priority. Plans will reflect guidance from the CDC, State and Fond du Lac County Health

• Departments. Plan will adjust as updates

are released. Plans were developed to allow for a fluid response keeping in mind stafg, student and parent capacity, coupled with financial resources of the district. Plans will reflect a preference for traditional classroom learning and focus on creating conditions to safely reopen schools. Instructional models will include blended/virtual learning options for PK-12 in the event that traditional classroom learning cannot occur.

Goals for Today

EMPOWERING LEARNERS, ENGAGING COMMUNITY, ENRICHING THE WORLD

Day to Day

OPERATIONS:

Cohorts

Move elementary classrooms as static groups and limit interaction outside of classroom environment

Entrances and Exits

Regulate access and directional flow

Face Coverings

All individuals age of 5 and older are required to wear face coverings when indoors. To be based on CDC, DPI and FdL County Health Dept. guidance/recommendations:

○

Masks are required in MS/HS classrooms as physical distancing will be

• diffjcult. Masks are required in MS/HS hallways, restrooms and common

areas.

○

Masks are generally required for elementary stafg especially when moving between desks to assist students. Masks are required for students and stafg at any time physical distancing is diffjcult to ensure.

Visitors

Limit non-essential visitors and visits

Field Trips and Gathering

Limit/monitor conditions before final approval for trips, minimize gatherings

Staffjng

Reassign stafg as needed to cover daily

• perational needs prioritizing student

learning and safety

High Risk Stafg and Students

Limit exposure and provide alternatives

Communication

Frequent and systematic Information in blue reflects updates following the Governor’s 7/30/2020 Emergency Order

EMPOWERING LEARNERS, ENGAGING COMMUNITY, ENRICHING THE WORLD

Transportation

OPERATIONS:

Student Capacity

• Fewer students per seat where possible

(Students will be assigned seats, with students from the same household sitting together.)

• Sit at window to provide physical distancing

when possible

• Avoid use if possible to minimize total contacts
• Waive HS student parking fees

Face Coverings

• All students and drivers are required to wear a

face mask.

Health and Safety

• Buses will be disinfected following each route.

Students with Special Needs

• IEP transportation accommodations in

consultation with families

Shuttle Sites

• Disinfect buses once empty after main a.m.

routes prior to shuttle students boarding the

• bus. This may cause two shuttle buses to arrive

late to school

• MP and BP students picked up first after school

so no shuttle from MS/HS to BP or MP

• Recommend signing up for shuttle only if using

almost every day

Moving Between Models

INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL:

In Person Learning

EC-Gr. 5

Virtual Learning

How will EC-Gr. 5 move between instructional models?

All elementary students will have the option to begin the school year in the in-person model. (Parents may choose to have their child start the year in the Virtual Learning Model). EC - Gr. 5 will only move between the In-Person and Virtual Model based on recommendations from county health offjcials. Movement will be on a class by class basis.

Elementary Schedule/Calendar

Calendar - Additional Days Ofg

Elementary students will not have school on the last Friday of each month to allow stafg time for prep/planning/collaboration, professional development, and individual connections with students using a virtual platform. These days will be as follows: September 25, October 30, November 20, December 18, January 29, February 26, March 26, April 30, and May 28

Dismissal Times:

Dismissal time will be adjusted: 2:32 MPQ and 2:35 BPJ. Busses will pick up at MPQ and BPJ and then head to HS/MS so bus riding students’ arrival times at home will generally be similar even with the earlier release

Start Times

At the elementary schools, the start time will be the same as last year with no late starts on Wednesdays: 8:02 MPQ and 8:05 BPJ

After School Care:

The district will provide increased options for after school care for elementary students at their elementary school through the district’s BRAVE Community Learning Center program. (See BRAVE Programming Slide) due to the earlier dismissal time.

Calendar for First Week of School

At the elementary schools, students will be divided into cohorts for the first week only. Students with last names beginning with A-M will only attend on Tuesday and Wednesday. Students with last names beginning with N-Z will only attend on Thursday and Friday. This is to allow teachers time to practice the new safety procedures related to COVID.
