At the K-12 level, the District priority is to return students to in-person instruction in the safest manner possible. Because of the social distancing guidelines and facility limitations, the District will bring in all students in Grades K-5 and adopt a hybrid model of in-person instruction in Grades 6-12.
In Person Instruction
In Person Instruction
- All students attend school.
- Social distancing and masks and/or barriers are used.
- All students must have a mask during the school day
- Hand sanitizer available in classrooms
- Hand sanitizer/Hand washing stations located throughout the building
Elementary Schedule (K-5):
- All students in grades K-5 will be in the building all day every day.
- Classroom furniture will be reduced to accommodate 6 ft of distance between all student desks.
- An area of 6 ft will be delineated in the front of the classroom for the teacher.
- Every attempt will be made to arrange classes so that the majority of students will be in their classroom as much as possible. When classrooms cannot hold the entire roster of students at a 6ft distance, students will be rotated from other larger areas in the building on a regular basis.
- The district may utilize large areas such as cafeteria, gymnasiums and libraries as classroom settings in order to honor social distancing.
- Special area teachers will push into classrooms.
- Students in grades K-5 will still have recess, but one class in a designated area at a time (no co-mingling with other classes).
- Lunch will be served in classrooms.
- Kindergarten Screening and Class Placement: Students will be screened during the first week of school and then classes will be created. During that time schedules will be developed for all students to visit all potential teachers.
Hybrid Instruction
Hybrid Instruction
- Students will be broken into two cohorts. One cohort attends school on Monday/Thursday the other Tuesday/Friday.

- Social distancing between students at all times (including desks 6 ft apart)
- Students will be divided into two cohorts based on last name. Purple (A-K) and Gold (L-Z) *This is not exact, we are breaking up classes so that members of the same household would attend the same days.
- Each cohort attends class two days a week (Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday). On the days when students aren’t in class, they will be expected to log into each class at the scheduled time, complete assigned work and work on long-term assignments/content exploration as assigned by the teacher. Attendance will be taken every period.
- Wednesday: follow truncated class period schedule; logging in for whole class meetings and individual checks based upon the specific teacher assignment.
