2020-2021 reopening plan faq 7/17/20

Will teachers and students be required to wear masks? Teachers will wear masks or face shields while in the presence of others. At a minimum, students will be encouraged to wear masks or face shields. We encourage our students to find a comfortable mask that they could potentially wear if necessary.

Will schools follow social distancing guidelines in the classroom? Principals will work with teachers and staff to implement social distancing in the classroom to the greatest extent possible.

Will Open House be held this year? Traditional Open House will not be held in our buildings this year. Instead, only students in 9th grade and those new to our district will come into our buildings for face to face orientation. All other students will be offered online orientation.

Will parents be notified if their student is exposed to COVID-19 while at school? Yes. Health Services Coordinator Andrea Williamson-English will work with HCSD personnel and the District 02 Department of Public Health on contacting parents and conducting back tracing in the event of an exposure to a positive case.

Will each student have access to his/her own Chromebook? Yes. We will check out Chromebooks to each student who is in need of one.
